Voters will have the chance to decide whether the flag with a blue field and emblem will remain as it has for more than a century, or if it will be changed to a new design featuring an Eastern white pine and the North Star. We'll hear how and why the ballot question came about, and we'll learn about the history of flag symbolism and design.
