The official website for the state of Maine, www.maine.gov, was
named a finalist in the fourth annual Government Experience Awards
sponsored by the Center for Digital Government.
The Government Experience Awards recognize the achievements and
best practices of states, cities and counties that excel at
creating useful online government services and applications. The
Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory
institute on information technology policies and sets the standard
for measuring best practices in state and local government.
“Ensuring that Maine people access critical services even if an
office is temporarily closed to the public due to the coronavirus
pandemic is essential to the operations of state government,” said
Governor Mills. “I congratulate Maine.gov on receiving this
well-deserved honor from the Center for Government Digital in
recognition of your outstanding efforts to ensure the public can
complete government transactions quickly and conveniently from
anywhere.”
Maine.gov, managed by NIC Maine (formerly known as Maine
Information Network or InforME), is a digital network of more than
175 online services and 300,000 pages of web content that allows
users to conduct official government business from any device.
With visits by more than 8.5 million people per month, Maine.gov
is the primary way the public remains informed on government
services and information. In 2020, Maine.gov was enhanced to offer
30 new sites and services, including a virtual Veterans’ Cemetery
Tour, 11 website design projects, including one for COVID-19
response, and 27 enhancements to existing services like Absentee
Ballot Request and Rapid Renewal. Further, in 2020 alone, nearly
150 municipal offices began using Maine.gov online services
including boat registration renewal.
“We are pleased to congratulate our state partners with whom we
work hard to best serve the people of Maine,” said Dan Andrews,
General Manager for NIC Maine. “NIC Maine and the state continually
expand service offerings through Maine.gov based on government and
public needs. We are thrilled Maine has been recognized by the
Center for Digital Government in the 2020 Government Experience
awards program.”
In addition to the Government Experience Award, Maine.gov has
been honored several times in 2020 for exceptional sites and
services, including the Communicator Awards program, the Ava
Digital Awards program, and the Marcom awards program.
