Mainers today are choosing Gov. Paul LePage’s replacement, as well as who will represent the state with a U.S. Senate seat and for the U.S. House of Representatives.

There is also a referendum question on the ballot on whether Mainers want to enact a tax on higher-income homes to fund home care for Maine seniors and those with disabilities.

Four bond questions also appear on today’s ballot.
