Less than three weeks until the November 5 election, the Maine Democratic Party and Team Harris-Walz are providing the Voter Assistance Hotline to make trusted, factually accurate voting information more accessible.


The Voter Assistance Hotline is open to all Maine voters and eligible voters and will provide accurate election information. Voters can call the Voter Assistance Hotline with any election-related question including how to register, where to vote in person, or where to find the nearest drop box location to return their absentee ballot. The Hotline can also be used to report election concerns related to voter intimidation, electioneering, long lines at polling centers, ADA accessibility, and other issues.

Maine elections are fair and accessible. As misinformation about elections persists, it is important for Maine voters and eligible voters to have accurate information as they make a plan to vote on or before November 5.

HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE:

To check your registration status, visit IWillVote.com/ME. You may register to vote at your town or city clerk's office or a Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch office during business hours. Maine has same-day voter registration, so you may also register to vote on Election Day November 5 at your polling place.


HOW TO CAST YOUR BALLOT:

In Maine there are three ways to cast your ballot:

  1. Bring your absentee ballot to a drop box in your town. To find your nearest drop box, visit IWillVote.com/ME.
  2. Return your ballot by mail with appropriate postage. Don't forget to sign the back of the envelope. The recommended last day to mail in your ballot is Friday, October 25. After October 25, please bring your ballot to a drop box or to your city or town clerk's office.
  3. Vote in person at your town or city office until Halloween or vote in person on Election Day, November 5. Find your polling location at IWillVote.com/ME.
