PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine and Texas are the latest states to become involved in a nationwide Republican push to enact strict voter ID laws and highlight the rare problem of noncitizen voting, with voters set to decide ballot measures on those issues Tuesday.

NEWS CENTER Maine spoke with Secretary of State Shenna Bellows about what voters should know before heading to the polls.

Question 1 would require Mainers to present a valid state ID or driver’s license to vote, limit the number of "drop" boxes for ballots and restrict the state's absentee mail balloting process.

A series of key elections are underway around the United States Tuesday. Follow along for live results. In New York City, voters are electing a new mayor in a hotly contested race between former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

The proposed red flag law would not replace Maine's current yellow flag law, and instead both would be on the books. The yellow flag law requires law enforcement officers to first take a person into custody, and for that person to be deemed a danger by a mental health professional, before a dangerous weapon can be taken away.
