MAINE ABSENTEE BALLOTS

Who Can Absentee Vote in Maine?

Any registered voter who will be unable to vote in person at his/her polling place on Election Day may choose to vote absentee.

How Can I Acquire an Absentee Ballot?

A voter wishing to vote absentee must complete an absentee ballot application, but there is no need to state a specific reason when requesting the ballot. Applications are available three months before the election at the municipal clerk's office. Ballots are available 30-45 days before the election, also at the municipal clerk's office.

There are several ways to request an absentee ballot. A voter may go in person to the clerk's office, or he/she may call the clerk's office to request one. One may also make a written request by completing the absentee ballot application. The application may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the clerk's office.

Any voter may also make a request for an absentee ballot for a member of his/her immediate family (immediate family members include: spouse, parent, child, sister, brother, step-parent, stepchild, stepsister, stepbrother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, guardian or former guardian).
A written request may be made for a third party (someone other than the voter or the voter's immediate family) to obtain and hand-deliver an absentee ballot.

How do I Return the Absentee Ballot and What is the Deadline?

In order to be counted, a completed ballot must be returned to the municipal clerk by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Any registered voter may also choose to vote in person at the clerk's office as soon as absentee ballots are available.
