PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — General elections will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 2.  Presque Isle residents who want to vote in person may do so at the Sargent Family Community Center on Chapman Street from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. that day.For those who wish to vote by absentee ballot, ballots may be requested in person by coming to City Hall, by calling City Hall, or online at: apps.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/AbsenteeBallot/index.pl.  

Those requesting absentee ballots should make certain to do so in plenty of time to allow for receipt, completion and return to the city clerk by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

You do not have to be out of town or have any special reason to request an absentee ballot.  It is a mechanism to allow you to vote without going to the polls in person.  Absentee ballots may be requested beginning three months before Election Day, and until the third business day prior to the election, unless special circumstances exist. 

Ballots may be returned in person at City Hall, by mail, or placed in the drop box at City Hall. Mail is received in the mornings and the building closes at 4:30 p.m.
