By party rules, only registered voters affiliated with a particular party may vote in its state primary. Please see Maine’s Democratic Party and Republican Party websites for details.
In 2020, Maine transitioned from holding a caucus to a primary system presidential preference elections. In order to participate, existing Maine voters who have previously been registered with another party must make sure they are affiliated with their party of choice fifteen days before the election.
New voters and those previously unaffiliated may register to vote and declare their party up to the election day, including in person at the polling location.
Some congressional seats, state offices and constitutional amendments may be included on the ballot.
