From Ballotpedia

The Election Timing of People's Veto ballot question, appearing as Question 8, was on the November 2, 1999 election ballot in Maine.

• It was approved with 71.3% of voters in favor.

Question 8 was placed on the ballot as a proposed constitutional amendment to the Maine Constitution by a 2/3rds vote of both chambers of the Maine legislature.

• Yes: 285,174
• No: 114,640

Text of the proposal

The language that appeared on the ballot:

Do you favor amending the Constitution of Maine to require that a petition for a people's veto be voted on at the next statewide or general election, rather than at a special election?

This Resolution would authorize an amendment to the Constitution of Maine to allow a petition for a people's veto to be voted on at the next statewide or general election rather than at a special election. The Amendment deletes current language, which allows a petition for the people's veto to be voted on at a special election.
