About this race
The 2026 Maine gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor of Maine. Incumbent Democratic governor Janet Mills is ineligible to seek re-election to a third consecutive term. Although Maine has adopted ranked-choice voting, it is only used for primary and federal general elections. Therefore, the primary was conducted with ranked-choice voting, and the general election will be conducted with the traditional plurality voting system. Primary elections were held on June 9, 2026.
Democrat Hannah Pingree and Republican Bobby Charles won their respective primaries, and will be joined on the ballot by independent Rick Bennett.
