"Maine is a national leader in rank choice voting but RCV does not apply to state and local elections due to the wording in the Constitution. Before RCV can be instituted in state and local elections, the language in the Maine Constitution must be changed from “majority” to “plurality”. "

I disagree. "Plurality" means the most votes while "majority" means half of the votes plus one. Below is a list of the Maine constitution potential conflicts with implementing ranked choice voting:

Art. IV, pt. 1, § 5 (representatives “elected by a plurality of all votes returned”)

Art. IV, pt. 2, § 4 (“The governor shall…issue a summons to such persons, as shall appear to be elected by a plurality of the votes”)

Art. IV, pt. 2, § 5 (senators “elected by a plurality of votes”)

Art. V, pt. 1, § 3 (“in case of a choice by plurality of all of the votes returned [the legislators] shall declare and publish the same")

Art. VI, § 6 (“Judges and registers of probate shall be elected by the people of their respective counties, by a plurality of the votes given

in . . .”)

Art. IX, § 10 (“Sheriffs shall be elected by the people of their respective counties, by a plurality of the votes”)
