Election Code

1998 Election Code Meeting

In order to promote fair play in political campaigns, the Margaret Chase Smith Library and Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center cosponsored the Maine Code of Election Ethics. Candidates for Governor, United States Representative, and United States Senator are invited to sign the code. Those who do, agree to avoid push polling; support campaign claims with documentation; take personal responsibility for campaign advertising; renounce the use of deceptions, half truths and falsehoods; refrain from engaging in personal attacks, innuendo, or stereotyping; and at all times, show compassion for opponents.
