Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Civil Rights, Voter Education & Registration, Voting Rights
Mission: Mcce is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization working to ensure that maine's campaign finance laws, elections, and government serve the public interest, both in principal and practice.
Programs: Maine citizens for clean elections works to engage maine people from across the political spectrum, using research,education, and outreach to further fairness, inclusion, and opportunity in our politics. We believe in the importance of the maine clean elections act, the first system of full public financing for state candidates in the country, passed via referendum in 1996. In the fall of 2016, 64% of incoming lawmakers to the maine legislature were elected using clean elections (an increase from 58% in the prior legislature). There are now 62% of the maine house of representatives and 74% of the maine senate who are clean election legislators.
