AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) – Maine registered voters can now request absentee ballots online for the Nov. 8 general election.

Maine voters will weigh in on statewide legislative races, congressional match-ups and the presidential race.
The November ballot will also include one bond issue and five citizen’s initiative questions on legalizing marijuana, raising money for schools, imposing background checks for gun sales, raising the minimum wage and instituting ranked-choice voting.
