Absentee ballots for the Nov. 6, 2018 General and Referendum
Election are available to request through this Thursday, Nov. 1,
Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap reminded 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.
Alternatively, the form can be printed out and mailed or
hand-delivered to the municipal clerk. Absentee ballots can also be
requested by phone or in person at the clerk’s office.
The November 2018 ballot will include one citizens’ initiative
question and four bond issues. Additionally, 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. More information is available on
the Upcoming Elections page of the Department of the Secretary of
State website.
The online absentee ballot request 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.
All ballots must be returned to the clerk no later than 8
p.m. on Election Day to be cast, so voters are advised to
account for mail delivery delays. In-person absentee voting is
available through Thursday, Nov. 1. After Thursday, any voter who
has not yet requested an absentee ballot would only be able to vote
on Election Day, Nov. 6, unless they submit a qualifying special
circumstances application to the clerk.
If you have questions about the absentee voting process, visit
the Absentee Voting page or call the Division of Elections at
624-7650.
