MMA Releases “Your Vote Counts” Campaign

Augusta, Maine - The Maine Municipal Association unveiled public service announcements this week thanking town and city election workers, and polling volunteers, for their service during the recent election.

Two short videos also explain the election process to voters and assure the integrity of Maine’s municipally administered system.

“It is important to us that the hundreds of election officials and volunteers are recognized for their diligence in upholding the integrity of the election process here in Maine,” said Stephen Gove, executive director of the MMA.

Featuring municipal clerks Kathy Montejo of Lewiston, Lisa Goodwin of Bangor and Becky Hapgood of China, the PSAs recognize Maine’s election staff and volunteers for their months of preparation and the countless hours spent to ensure fair, open and professionally run elections.

MMA will implement a social media, electronic media and print strategy to share the PSAs throughout Maine. Maine media may feel free to post these videos to their websites and share them on their Facebook pages.
