WALDOBORO — Voters heading to the polls in Waldoboro were tasked with voting for their choice of presidential candidate in Maine’s primary and on one state referendum question, a people’s veto to legislation signed into law by Governor Janet Mills in May 2019. 

The referendum question on the ballot reads: Do you want to reject the new law that removes religious and philosophical exemptions to requiring immunization against certain communicable diseases for students to attend schools and colleges and for employees of nursery schools and health care facilities?

Meanwhile, the 129th Maine Legislature enacted a Presidential Primary law in 2019 (PL 2019, Chapter 445), for the purpose of allowing Maine voters to designate their preference for the nomination of their party’s candidate.

The Green Independent Party chose not to participate in the Presidential Primary election but will hold party caucuses for voting for the Presidential candidate and conducting other party-building activities. 

Below is the alphabetical listing of candidates appearing on the ballot for Maine voters, with a notation of the state in which they claim full-time residence. Not all candidates filed to appear on the Maine ballot, or dropped out of the race before filing to appear on the Maine ballot.
