A State Primary and the Town’s Annual School Budget Referendum Election will take place on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. Absentee ballot requests are now available. You can request an absentee ballot by calling the Clerk’s Office or by visiting https://absenteeballotrequest.sos.maine.gov. Ballots will be mailed out the first week of May once the Town Clerk’s Office receives them.

Primary elections determine each qualified party’s nomination of candidates for federal, state and county offices. Party candidates who are elected at the Primary qualify to appear on the November General Election Ballot.
Offices included in the 2026 Primary Election are US Senate, Representative to Congress, Governor, State Senate, State House Districts, County Commissioner, County Sheriff, County Judge of Probate and District Attorney.

Voters enrolled in a party, Republican or Democrat, may only vote that party’s primary ballot. Enrolled voters do not have the option to select another party’s ballot unless they change enrollment at least 15 days prior to the primary. When a voter enrolls in a new party, they may not change their party enrollment again for three months unless they move to a new municipality and establish a new voting residence there.

Unenrolled voters may choose either the Republican or Democrat ballot.

LAST DAY TO CHANGE YOUR PARTY ENROLLMENT AND BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN THE JUNE 9TH ELECTION IS MAY 26, 2026.
