The results from Wiscasset for the state’s Ranked Choice Voting question were 422-499. The measure lost in Wiscasset, but won at the state level, with 54 percent approval.

Ranked Choice Voting was enacted in 2016. A 2017 advisory opinion from the Maine Supreme Judicial Court said  the system was partially unconstitutional because the Maine Constitution says to decide general elections by pluralities, not majorities. It  became a partisan issue in the Legislature, with no supermajority achieved. A bill that passed in October 2017  called for either a constitutional amendment by 2021 or for ranked choice to end. The 2018 vote was a people's veto vote that overturned that law.

Wiscasset’s Democratic votes ran as follows:

Governor, Adam Cote 56, Donna Dion 3, Mark Dion 15, Mark Eves 33, Janet Mills 100, Diane Russell 9, Betsy Sweet 57. At the state level, Mills was leading Wednesday,  but had not garnered the 50 percent plus one she needed to avoid the ranked choice process, so the results of this race may not be known for days.
