Maine voters will cast ballots in races for president, US Senate and the state’s two US House seats. Senator Angus King Jr., the Independent incumbent who caucuses with Democrats, is favored to win reelection, according to ratings from the Cook Political Report. The House race in District 2 is considered a “Toss Up.”
In the Electoral College, Maine gives two electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins statewide, and one to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in each of its two congressional districts.
Maine’s elections utilize ranked choice voting. Voters will rank their top four picks in each race. If no one wins a majority, the lowest-ranked candidate is eliminated and the second-choice votes from their supporters are counted. The process continues until a candidate reaches a majority over one other.
Winner was determined via ranked choice voting tabulation on Nov. 15.
