Description of the 6/14/2022 State Primary & Referendum Election 

Primary Elections determine each qualified party’s nomination of candidates for federal offices and State and County offices.  Party candidates who are elected at the Primary qualify to appear on the November General Election ballot. 
Offices included in the 2022 Primary Election are Governor, Representative to Congress (both districts), all 35 State Senate districts, all 151 State Representative districts, and the following county offices, which vary depending on the county: Judge of Probate, Register of Probate, County Treasurer, Register of Deeds, Sheriff, District Attorney and County Commissioner. 
In order to qualify for the Primary Election ballot, party candidates must gather a specified number of signatures on primary nomination petitions between January 1, 2022 and March 15, 2022 and submit these petitions to the Secretary of State’s Division of Elections by 5:00 p.m. on March 15, 2022. Nonparty candidates gain access directly to the General Election ballot by gathering a specified number of signatures on nonparty nomination petitions between January 1, 2022 and June 1, 2022 and must submit these petitions to the Division of Elections by 5:00 pm on June 1, 2022.

Maine Political Parties 

Maine currently has four qualified parties: Democratic, Green Independent, Libertarian and Republican that may participate in primary elections. (Note: although some unenrolled candidates choose to designate themselves as “Independent,” there is no “Independent” party in Maine.)
