In Maine, both Democratic and Republican parties hold their Presidential Primary Elections in March, allowing registered party members to vote for their preferred presidential candidates at designated polling places, such as schools and community centers. This primary system, adopted by the Democrats to increase participation over the traditional caucus method, and consistently used by Republicans, determines the allocation of Maine’s delegates to their respective National Conventions. The primaries are a crucial part of the Super Tuesday elections, significantly impacting the overall nomination process for each party. Voters can find details about polling locations and requirements through the Maine Secretary of State’s website or local election offices.
