## Summary

A conservative legal group has filed an election complaint alleging that Maine’s voter rolls contain thousands of records for potentially deceased people and hundreds of duplicate registrations. It is asking state officials to review the findings and take corrective action before voters cast ballots, raising questions about how the rolls are maintained and checked.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation identified 3,181 potentially deceased voters and 693 duplicate registrations, using name, address and birth-year comparisons that also accounted for variations and errors. Its 2025 investigation found 18,453 potentially deceased voters and 1,498 duplicate or triplicate records; the group says Maine addressed many of those, but some remain and new issues have appeared. Maine’s secretary of state was contacted for comment, and the complaint warns the group may pursue a process under the Help America Vote Act if no action is taken.
