The election is required after Democratic Sen. Seth Goodall of Richmond resigned last week to serve as New England regional administrator of the Small Business Administration.
District 19 covers Sagadahoc County and the town of Dresden.
The Sagadahoc and Lincoln County Democratic, Green Independent and Republican committees will have until 5 p.m. July 30 to file a nomination for the ballot with the secretary of state.
Voters can now request absentee ballots from their municipal clerk.
