CAN I VOTE IF I HAVE A FELONY CONVICTION?
Yes. In Maine, having a felony conviction does not affect your right to vote. Even if you’re currently incarcerated, you can vote as long as you register using the address where you lived before being incarcerated.
CAN I REGISTER AND VOTE IF I DON’T HAVE A TRADITIONAL ADDRESS?
Yes. If you are experiencing homelessness or living in a shelter, you can register to vote in the Maine municipality where you currently reside, even if your address is non-traditional, like a park bench or another physical location. You can give a physical description of where you live, under oath, to the municipal clerk instead of showing typical residency documents. A mailing address is not required.
