Maine passed a law in 2011 to stop people from registering to vote on election day, but voters overturned it in 2011. The reason for this was a mix of cultural and political factors, like Maine's strong civic culture, the option for referendums, and effective campaigns to restore election-day registration. Supporters of the law were not as organized or well-funded, and the areas where they had the most support were where Governor LePage got the most votes in 2010. Maine has a history of high voter turnout, and the easy registration process played a big role in this.
