MAINE IS HOLDING ITS CRUCIAL MIDTERM ELECTIONS – MAKE SURE YOUR VOICE IS HEARD!
DA Data Privacy Policy
What elections are there in Maine? What am I voting for?
Voting has never been more important and your vote is crucial!
Maine will hold its midterm elections for US Representatives as well as state-wide offices for Governor and your state representatives and state senators.
All Maine overseas voters can vote in these important elections!
It’s vital to keep Maine Democratic! We need to get out the vote to re-elect two excellent Democrats in close races: Governor Janet Mills and US Representative Jared Golden. With your vote, we can keep the Democratic majority in Congress.
Please vote in ALL the races on your ballot – Maine state elections are hugely important! State governments are responsible for voting and also for state policies on abortion and reproductive rights, climate change, education, and so many other issues that affect us no matter where we are in the world.
Electing Democrats will be crucial to ensuring the 2024 elections are fair, open, and inclusive. State elections can hinge on just a few votes – your vote matters!
