Are there absentee ballots for those not attending the caucus? If so, can they be obtained tomorrow or are they mailed?

You must be physically present at your caucus to vote.

I have a (dumb) question too: Why are the Maine Caucuses shown as a week long? Do you actually have all week to vote or are some precincts held on different days? When would we know the results (which day) or is it report at the end of each day?

EDIT: Sorry for the ME post in a MN forum.

Each town in Maine gets to choose their own date to hold their caucus between February 4-11. If you miss your town's caucus on its particular day, you will not be able to vote. The results for all the towns' caucuses will be released on February 11 at 7:30 PM ET.

Is it possible to just stop by to vote then leave during the caucus? I will not be able to debate with neighbors as i will be with child.

They usually take about an hour. The voting is usually the end though.

Most caucuses require you to sign in at the beginning. In Iowa, they locked the doors after it started but voting in the straw poll was also the first thing they did.
