Absentee voting started today for the 2026 primary elections. There's been a lot of news on this front in recent weeks and we want to help you make sense of it all, which is why we’re launching our 2026 Maine voter guide. It's got everything you need to be an informed voter, including:

• Voter guides for each race

• Short video interviews with candidates

• Comprehensive campaign finance data

• Answers to common questions about voting in Maine

• Key dates, and more

You can find the voter guide here or by clicking the image below. It's free to access, like all Maine Monitor reporting. We can't wait to hear what you think!

As always, let us know if there are questions you'd like us to dig into. And if you want to support this and the rest of our work, please consider making a donation. All gifts are being matched up to $15,000 by Maine Monitor member Jan and Board President Emily Barr and her husband Scott Kane as part of our spring fundraising drive.

Have feedback, a correction or know of something we should look into? Send it to our newsroom. You can also email The Monitor's editors: editors@themainemonitor.org.
