At the moment, it seems not to be allowed in state elections, period. Based on what I've heard about the maneuverings against it, that may require a constitutional amendment to correct. Maine's constitution is, of course, far easier to amend than the federal one (at present it has 173 amendments, the most recent from just last year, to do with some boring thing about the amortization of the state retirement fund that I would have thought could be handled with normal legislation, but hey I'm not a lawyer), and it does not require the governor's input to do so, but it does have to go through the state legislature. Right now that's controlled by the same party that's benefitting from RCV's absence, so...

In an amusing bit of convolution, I believe it's possible to have a citizen's initiative (referendum) to require the Legislature to adopt an amendment resolution (which then goes out for a second citizen vote at the next general election), but don't quote me.
