Governor’s Executive Order
On April 10, 2020, Governor Janet Mills issued an Executive Order moving Maine’s primary election from Tuesday, June 9, 2020 to Tuesday, July 14, 2020 as a part of the State of Maine’s COVID-19 response. The Order also allows applications for absentee ballots to be made in writing or in person, without specifying a reason, up to and including the day of the election. The delay in the primary election will provide additional time for Maine people to request absentee ballots in order to minimize in-person interaction at the polls and will allow the Secretary of State’s Office additional time to develop guidelines to help municipalities conduct in-person voting in as safe a manner as possible.
