The deadline is drawing near to request absentee ballots prior to the Maine election.
Thursday marks the last day that absentee ballots can be requested with no questions asked. Come Friday, voters will have to show extenuating circumstances for requesting an absentee ballot.
There are only two issues on the statewide ballot on Tuesday, Election Day.
One is for a bond package approved by legislators.

There are mayor elections in several communities including Portland, Auburn, Lewiston, Saco and Westbrook.
