Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Michael Good v. Town of Bar Harbor

July 2, 20242024 ME 48

Summary

The court held that Bar Harbor lawfully presented the charter commission's proposed limited changes as separate questions because they were minor modifications rather than a major, integrated revision of the charter. It also held that none of the asserted procedural defects materially and substantially affected the vote, so the election results were not invalidated. The court vacated the Superior Court's judgment and remanded for entry of summary judgment for the Town.
