How this guide is made

Referendum Questions

Maine has no statewide questions on the November 3, 2026 ballot.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the Maine Secretary of State's official candidate list for the November 3, 2026 general election ↗, in the order of the Secretary of State's candidate list (your ballot may list them in a different order), with names as they appear on the ballot. Where a candidate lives is the town on their filing with the Secretary of State. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files of the Maine's 2021 state Senate and House district maps (used 2022 through 2030). Your sample ballot is the final word.
