Fogler Library offers free online elections guide

Elections can serve a starting point for people trying to better understand voting in the United States, including the March 3 presidential primary and special state referendum election.

Fogler Library at the University of Maine has created a free online guide to local, state and federal elections. Every resource in the guide was handpicked by librarians at Fogler Library. Resources are designed to provide trustworthy, broad and balanced information across a variety of issues. The guide includes links to background research, news articles, government websites, books and more.

Many of the guide’s resources are freely available to anyone, although certain resources may only be available to UMaine students, faculty and staff. The guide is part of a series of Hot Topics guides published by Fogler Library, designed to provide patrons with a hub of information when trying to better understand complex and timely issues.
