Many Mainers vote absentee, which under Maine law includes early in-person voting and vote- by-mail.
In fact, in November 2024, a whopping 45% — nearly half of Maine voters — used absentee ballots.
Right now Maine seniors and disabled people can put themselves on a list to get an absentee ballot sent to them each election.
Under current law, this option will be available to other Maine voters soon.
Research shows that being able to get ongoing absentee ballot status makes voting significantly more convenient and boosts turnout.
