Voter registrations in Maine spiked after Harris announced candidacy

Maine has seen a marked increase in new voter registrations since President Joe Biden dropped out of the upcoming presidential race on July 21 and subsequently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, with particular spikes in the two weeks immediately following.

According to statewide voter registration numbers provided by the Maine Secretary of State’s Office, 3,793 Mainers registered to vote in July — higher than every month since the 2023 November election.

The majority of those new voters registered after Biden dropped out.

The week after his announcement, 1,235 Mainers registered to vote. The following week saw an additional 1,114 new registrations.
