The Maine Department of the Secretary of State will host its ranked-choice run-off for the 2nd Congressional District race Tuesday afternoon. The tabulation will start at 1 p.m. at the Maine State Police headquarters in Augusta.

Supporters of providing photo identification to cast ballots in Maine elections are planning to put the question before the state’s voters.

Incumbent Democratic Congressman Jared Golden declared victory last Wednesday, but the secretary of state says it's too close to call.

The citizen-initiated referendum question would ask whether people should be required to show photo identification in order to vote in Maine.

Election officials say a ranked-choice voting tabulation aimed at determining the winner of a key congressional race in Maine starts in the coming week

The thin margin came in an election in which Republican Donald Trump won the 2nd District, allowing him to collect one of Maine’s four electoral votes. Maine is one of two states that split electoral votes.

Under Maine law, it all depends on when the when they were placed there. Under the current law, temporary signs can be placed in a public right-of-way for up to six weeks from January 1st to June 30th. And another six weeks between July 1st and the end of the year.

More than $50 million poured into the contest between Jared Golden and Austin Theriault, mostly for advertising.

The Maine 2nd Congressional District race between incumbent Democrat Rep. Jared Golden and Republican challenger Austin Theriault is heading to a ranked-choice tabulation.

The ranked choice tabulation in the race between U.S. Rep. Jared Golden and state Rep. Austin Theriault will start at 1 p.m. in Augusta.

The entire proceeding is open to the public. It will be livestreamed on the secretary of state department’s YouTube page.

After ranked voting is concluded, state election officials will begin a formal recount requested by Theriault based on the razor-thin margin.
