absentee ballots

Maine voters will cast ballots on two statewide referendum questions as well as local races during the off-year election.

In late-September, 250 absentee ballots that were supposed to go to Ellsworth instead ended up in an Amazon box sent to a private home. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

The competing narratives about Question 1’s true objectives and potential impacts are perhaps best epitomized by the names of the groups leading the fight on either side: Voter ID for ME and the Save Maine Absentee Voting Coalition.

Mainers can begin to cast their ballot for the November election either in person or by mail.

The incident, in which 250 ballots were reportedly found inside an Amazon box that had been tampered with, has prompted conservatives to call for a federal investigation and for the resignation of Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.

The number of absentee ballots requested so far this election has already topped the total from two years ago when Maine had a hotly contested gubernatorial contest.

Maine offers no-excuse absentee voting, meaning all voters can cast their ballot absentee without providing a reason. Mail-in ballots will be sent to voters in early October — 30 days before Election Day.
