缅因州选民可以在星期一提前开始投票,有关选民身份证、枪用红旗和选票准入的关键投票问题将在11月4日决定。 Maine voters can start early voting Monday, with key ballot questions on voter ID, red flags for guns, and ballot access to be decided Nov. 4.

缅因州提前投票于星期一开始,当面缺席投票可持续至10月30日,并应于同日提出邮寄选票申请。 Early voting in Maine starts Monday, with in-person absentee voting available through Oct. 30 and mail-in ballot requests due by the same date. 缅因州毫无理由的缺席投票允许任何居民提前投票。 Maine’s no-excuse absentee voting allows any resident to vote early. 11月4日将决定两个关键投票问题:一个提出选民身份证要求,扩大老年人和残疾选民的自动投票,限制投投选票箱和第三方请求;另一个将制定红旗法,允许对被视为威胁的个人临时清除火器。 Two key ballot questions will be decided on Nov. 4: one proposes voter ID requirements, expanded automatic ballot delivery for seniors and disabled voters, and restrictions on ballot drop boxes and third-party requests; the other would establish a red flag law allowing temporary firearm removal for individuals deemed a threat. 选举官员必须于11月4日下午8时前收到选票。 Ballots must be received by election officials by 8 p.m. on Nov. 4. 官员们强调,选民欺诈极为罕见,所有缺席的选票都必须以签名、追踪的信封归还,不计票。 Officials emphasize that voter fraud is extremely rare, and all absentee ballots must be returned in signed, tracked envelopes—unmarked ballots would not be counted.
