A score is published when at least 8 of the 15 criteria have public evidence. Where a candidate has no record on a criterion it is left out and never counts against them. Names are listed alphabetically. Independent scorecards by The Political Group. Also see the Maine 2026 election guide and how each trailing candidate could win.
