2025 Elections
Referendum Elections are held to provide Maine’s citizens an opportunity to vote on People’s Veto Referenda, Direct Initiatives of Legislation (i.e. Citizen Initiatives), Bond Issues, other referenda proposed by the Legislature, and Constitutional Amendments. Referendum elections are an important part of the heritage of public participation in Maine.
Serve as a poll worker
Every town and city in Maine needs citizens like you to help administer the election. Visit the Maine Election Worker Recruitment webpage for more information about the qualifications, duties and benefits of helping your town at the polls on Election Day.
Maine Political Parties
Maine currently has five qualified parties: Democratic, Green Independent, Libertarian, No Labels and Republican that may participate in primary elections. (Note: although some unenrolled candidates choose to designate themselves as "Independent," there is no "Independent" party in Maine.)
Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV)
Ranked-choice voting will be used in the 2024 Presidential Primary, State Primary and General elections (for federal offices only). Visit our RCV Resources page for more information about ranked-choice voting, including Frequently Asked Questions and sample ballots.
Municipal Elections and Town Meetings
The Department of the Secretary of State and the state's Elections Division does not oversee local elections or town meetings. Depending on a municipality's governance structure, these elections are governed by Title 30-A, Municipalities and Counties and/or the municipality's charter. Questions about a municipality's local elections or town meetings should be directed to the municipal clerk.
