Primary candidates seeking to represent Gorham in the Maine Senate and House of Representatives have filed with the Secretary of State and will be on the June 11 primary ballots. The only contested race is in District 109 where Eleanor Sato and Steven Siegel are both running to be the Democratic nominee for state representative. The incumbent, Jim Boyle, is not seeking reelection. Anyone seeking to be a write-in candidate must declare by April 2nd for their votes to be counted.

Only unenrolled voters, those not registered in a political party, may choose either Democratic or Republican ballots. Voters enrolled in those parties will receive their party’s ballot. No other party is running primary candidates. Voters who wish to change parties or change to unenrolled must do so by May 27. Residents who are not registered to vote may register at the Municipal Building during regular business hours or at the polls on Election Day. Voters may request to be sent absentee ballots.
