NOTE from the Office of the Secretary of State: "This year marks the beginning of Maine’s shift to Semi-Open Primaries. If someone is enrolled in a specific party, they may only vote in that party’s primary. If someone is unenrolled (has no party affiliation), then they can vote in any ONE party’s primary of their choice. This applies to the Presidential and State Primaries."
