Voting by mail? Mainers advised to deliver to post office by Tuesday

As the countdown to Election Day gets shorter, Mainers intending to cast their ballots before Nov. 5 should be aware of some deadlines this week.

Data from the Maine Department of the Secretary of State shows that nearly 300,000 voters have requested absentee ballots, which must be returned to their municipal clerk no later than 8 p.m. on Nov. 5. They can be submitted in person, by mail or placed in a drop-box, if available.

To meet that deadline and ensure their vote is counted, Mainers planning to mail in their absentee ballots are advised to do so no later than Tuesday.

However, voters have until Thursday to request a ballot and vote in person at their clerk’s office.
