The Southern Maine Agency on Aging (SMAA) not only provides services for older adults and caregivers, but also serves as a public advocate. Area Agencies on Aging monitor and comment on policies that affect older people.

We share resources like this to ensure older Mainers have clear, accessible, and unbiased information so they can make their own decisions and exercise their right to vote with confidence.

We encourage you to learn more about Question 1 on the November 4, 2025 Ballot. A “yes” vote on question 1 supports significant changes to the election procedure that will greatly impact the ability of older adults and family caregivers to vote.
