Today’s elections include a U.S. Senate and congressional races, along with state, county and local contests.
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins is facing off with Democratic nominee Troy Jackson for the seat she has held for nearly 30 years in a race that could decide control of the Senate.
Elsewhere on the ballot, Republican former Gov. Paul LePage faces Democrat Matt Dunlap for the 2nd Congressional District seat opened by U.S. Rep. Jared Golden’s departure. The race to replace Gov. Janet Mills is a three-way contest between Democrat Hannah Pingree, Republican Bobby Charles and independent Rick Bennett. And all 186 seats in the state Legislature are up, along with county and local races.
We’ll have reporters at polling places across the state throughout the day, talking to voters and candidates. After polls close at 8 p.m., follow our results page for the latest updates and live maps. Politics editor Michael Shepherd will be breaking down results on our election livestream show starting when polls close.
