Presidential Primary Election March 5, 2024
New this year: Maine has implemented a Semi-open Primary. What this means to you is that for the first time, unenrolled voters will be able to vote in the primary without enrolling in a political party. (Unenrolled voters just need to specify which party ballot they would like to vote.) Those who may vote in the Presidential Primary Election are voters who are either enrolled in the Republican party, Democratic party or Unenrolled. If you are enrolled in any other political party i.e. Green Independent, Libertarian or No Labels, you will not be able to vote in this election unless you change your enrollment status.
DEADLINE TO CHANGE PARTY ENROLLMENT: Voters who are enrolled in one party and wish to change enrollment to a different party and vote in the new party (or withdraw their enrollment and become unenrolled) for March 5, 2024 Presidential Primary Election must do so by Friday, February 16, 2024.
