The deadline to submit nomination papers for municipal and school board elections has passed, setting the candidates for this summer’s election. Gov. Janet Mills issued an executive order to reschedule the June 9 primary election to July 14 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lakes Region towns have moved local elections to the same date. Several town clerks and managers have said that the nomination process may re-open given the delay.

The July 14 election will also decide candidates for legislative seats and for Congress.

Most towns have announced a new date for their town meetings and several are considering how ongoing restrictions on public gatherings will affect the annual forum.

Here are the nominees and election dates as they stand now. Write-in candidates are also allowed for all seats.
