The Online Absentee Ballot Request Service is now available for
the Nov. 6, 2018 General and Referendum Election, Secretary of
State Matthew Dunlap notified voters today.
Any registered Maine voter may choose to vote absentee, either
via mail or in person at their town hall prior to Election Day.
Voters do not need to provide a reason to vote absentee.
Voters can request an absentee ballot by completing and
submitting their request form online at
www.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/AbsenteeBallot/index.pl. The form can
also be printed out and mailed or hand-delivered to their municipal
clerk.
On the General Election ballot, Maine voters will elect one of
Maine’s two United States Senators, Maine’s Governor, two
Representatives to Congress, members of the Maine Legislature, and
certain county officers. The Referendum Election ballot will
include one citizens’ initiative question and four bond
questions:
- Question 1: “Do you want to
create the Universal Home Care Program to provide home-based
assistance to people with disabilities and senior citizens,
regardless of income, funded by a new 3.8% tax on individuals and
families with Maine wage and adjusted gross income above the amount
subject to Social Security taxes, which is $128,400 in 2018?”
- Question 2: “Do you favor a
$30,000,000 bond issue to improve water quality, support the
planning and construction of wastewater treatment facilities and
assist homeowners whose homes are served by substandard or
malfunctioning wastewater treatment systems?”
- Question 3: “Do you favor a
$106,000,000 bond issue, including $101,000,000 for construction,
reconstruction and rehabilitation of highways and bridges and for
facilities and equipment related to ports, piers, harbors, marine
transportation, freight and passenger railroads, aviation, transit
and bicycle and pedestrian trails, to be used to match an estimated
$137,000,000 in federal and other funds, and $5,000,000 for the
upgrade of municipal culverts at stream crossings?”
- Question 4: “Do you favor a
$49,000,000 bond issue to be matched by at least $49,000,000 in
private and public funds to modernize and improve the facilities
and infrastructure of Maine's public universities in order to
expand workforce development capacity and to attract and retain
students to strengthen Maine's economy and future workforce?”
- Question 5: “Do you favor a
$15,000,000 bond issue to improve educational programs by upgrading
facilities at all 7 of Maine's community colleges in order to
provide Maine people with access to high-skill, low-cost technical
and career education?”
The full text of the proposed legislation of each question is
available for review on the Elections Division website.
Voters must submit absentee ballot requests or vote in-person
absentee at least three days prior to the Nov. 6 Election. Ballots
will be made available to civilian voters beginning 30 days before
the election. (Ballots for uniformed service and overseas voters
will be available at least 45 days before the election.)
The online service provides an email notification with a
confirmation number. When the request is processed and accepted by
the municipal clerk, the voter will be sent an additional
notification and the ballot will arrive by mail. All Maine
municipalities are required to accept electronic requests for
absentee ballots.
