Maine voters can now request absentee ballots for the Nov. 5 general election.
The ballots won’t be available until early October — 30 days before Election Day — but Maine law allows for people to request them three months before the election. Absentee ballots can be requested online or by contacting the local municipal clerk.
“Maine’s no-excuse absentee voting laws are foundational to our safe, secure and accessible elections,” said Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. “Voting in person on Election Day is always an option, but many busy Mainers find it more convenient to cast an absentee ballot, and those Mainers can put their request in now for the November election.”
In addition to the presidential race, the November election includes both of Maine’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, a Senate seat and state legislators. There are also five statewide referendum questions, including one about whether to adopt a new state flag.
