HOW ELECTIONS IN MAINE WORK AND WHY (PVSC Spring 2024 6-week In-Person course)
Instructor: Matt Dunlap
Classes are held at UMA-Bangor, Texas Ave. Eastport Hall Room 135 and are recorded.
In this six-week course, we will explore how we govern ourselves, from the nuances of how electoral districts are drawn to who has the right to vote (and how that has changed) to who—and how—elections are run. Along the way, we’ll explore referendums and initiatives, disputed elections, absentee balloting, election certification, town meetings, and, of course, election recounts and challenges, including litigation in court.
Instructor: MATT DUNLAP
