Maine: Windham to vote on recall law -- (Updated: It Passed)

Windham voters will be deciding on a referendum to adopt a recall law. The law will have 10% of gubernatorial turnout and will have an interim replacement vote. It will also bar the official from holding office for two years.

The town council tried to pass an alternative recall law, with higher signature requirements 15%, a turnout minimum (25% -- an absentee veto provision), and an automatic replacement model rather than a vote, but failed to agree. 

Update: Another attempt to put the alternative Council led effort failed. 

Update 2: The Proposition passed, 3348-2524
