AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Maine on Election Day
October 27, 2025
Maine voters will decide a pair of high-profile ballot measures addressing elections and gun violence in a statewide referendum election next week. Question 1 would make several changes to the state’s voting procedures, most notably requiring voters to present photo identification at the polls. Question 2 would implement a “red flag” law designed to prevent access to dangerous weapons by individuals deemed by a court to present a danger to themselves or others. The measures represent the latest efforts to put the two hot-button national issues directly before voters on state ballots. The election is Nov. 4.
