Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Maine Civic Digest, a monthly newsletter created by the nonpartisan League of Women Voters of Maine (LWVME) and Maine Students Vote and designed specifically for educators and others who are passionate about youth civic engagement.

Democracy Maine works to make government more equitable, inclusive, and accessible by improving elections, protecting and engaging voters, increasing civic engagement, and reducing the influence of private money in politics. Democracy Maine is a collaboration between three nonpartisan organizations — League of Women Voters of Maine, Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, and Maine Students Vote — that partner on advocacy and education efforts.
