New office space
The City Clerk's and Voter Registration office has relocated to the space formerly occupied by the Assessing Department. For those of you who are not familiar with the building, we may be found in Room 102, which is on the first floor as you enter from Cutts St.

Please be patient
Due to the interest that has been expressed, in this election, from Maine to Hawaii we ask that residents who choose to cast their ballot at the polls be patient while waiting to check in to vote. The office is making every effort to ensure that there will be sufficient staffing at all Wards. Sub-registrars will be working at the four polling places to register new Voters Election Day.
