LEWISTON — Only a trickle of numbers were available late Tuesday on the question of the Androscoggin County Charter.

“It’s promising but much too early to call, ” Charter Commission member Chip Morrison said late Tuesday.

With five towns reporting — Greene, Leeds, Livermore, Minot and Mechanic Falls — the measure seemed too close to call. The vote was 4,814 in favor to 3,761 against. No other returns were in by late Tuesday night.

The charter serves as a proposed blueprint for changes, calling for more county commissioners, new rules for removing elected leaders and a full-time administrator.

An elected nine-member charter commission worked on the 16-page document for almost a year and a half, combing through a wide variety of details. They ranged from how long a commissioner’s term would last — four years — to where the county seat will be. It will remain in Auburn.

The new document has a recall provision that gives voters a chance to oust a commissioner. It also gives the commission the ability to remove a commissioner who doesn’t attend meetings, behaves poorly in the meetings or displays “moral turpitude.”

It also calls for the instant removal from office for a commissioner who moves out of their elected district.
