For the November 3, 2026 general election, Westfield and Aroostook County voters will decide several key races. Maine's gubernatorial election will be on the ballot, as Governor Janet Mills' term expires in 2027. Both U.S. Senate seats for Maine (currently held by Susan Collins and Angus King) will not be up in 2026, as neither faces election that year. However, Maine's 2nd Congressional District seat (which includes Aroostook County) will be contested, as all U.S. House seats are elected every two years. State legislative races for the Maine Senate District 1 and Maine House of Representatives District 145 (which includes Westfield) will appear on the ballot. County offices including Aroostook County Commissioner, County Treasurer, Register of Deeds, and Sheriff positions may be contested depending on term schedules. Absentee ballots in Maine can be requested online through the Secretary of State's website, by mail, or in person at the town clerk's office. Maine law allows any registered voter to request an absentee ballot without providing a reason. Applications must be received by the Thursday before Election Day, and completed ballots must be received by 8:00 PM on Election Day. Maine's public election records include voter registration lists (available to campaigns and political parties under 21-A M.R.S. § 196), campaign finance reports searchable at www.maine.gov/ethics, candidate filings through the Secretary of State, and precinct-level election results posted at www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec after each election. Voter history (whether someone voted, not how they voted) is also public record.
