June 11, 2024 - State Primary Election

Description of the State Primary Election (for offices other than President)
 
Primary Elections determine each qualified party’s nomination of candidates for federal offices (other than President) and qualified State and County offices. Party candidates who are elected at the Primary qualify to appear on the November General Election ballot. The State Primary Elections are also Semi-Open. 
 
NOTE: This year marks the beginning of Maine’s shift to Semi-Open Primaries. If someone is enrolled in a specific party, they may only vote in that party’s primary. If someone is un-enrolled (has no party affiliation), then they can vote in any ONE party’s primary of their choice. This applies to the Presidential and State Primaries.
 
Offices included in the 2024 Primary Election are United States Senator, Representative to Congress (both districts), all 35 State Senate districts, all 151 State Representative districts, and the following county offices, which vary depending on the county: Judge of Probate, Register of Probate, County Treasurer, Register of Deeds, Sheriff, District Attorney and County Commissioner.
 
In order to qualify for the Primary Election ballot, party candidates must gather a specified number of signatures on primary nomination petitions between January 1st, 2024 and March 15 th, 2024. The petitions must be certified by the municipal registrar/clerk, after which the party/candidate must submit these petitions to the Secretary of State’s Division of Elections by 5:00 pm on March 15 th, 2024.
 
Nonparty candidates who wish to gain direct access to the General Election ballot must gather a specified number of signatures on nonparty nomination petitions between January 1 st, 2024 and May 28 th, 2024. Candidates need to deliver then to the municipal registrar/clerk for certification by 5:00 pm on May 28 th, 2024, after which the candidate must submit these petitions to the Division of Elections by 5:00 pm on June 3, 2024.
