Election Day: Troy Jackson Urges Mainers to Vote for a Government That Works for Working People

Polls close at 8 p.m.; eligible Mainers can register and vote today

PORTLAND, ME — Fifth-generation logger, former Maine Senate President, and Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Troy Jackson urged Mainers to make their voices heard today and released information to help voters cast their ballots before polls close at 8 p.m.

“Working Mainers deserve a government that fights for them, and that change starts at the ballot box,” said Jackson. “Your vote could be the difference between another term of Senator Collins rubberstamping Donald Trump’s harmful agenda and voting in the interest of billionaires and corporations, or electing a new senator that puts your interests first. This is our chance to stand up for our families, our communities, and the future we want for Maine. Let’s make it count.”

What Maine voters need to know today:

Polls close at 8 p.m. Opening times vary by municipality, between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. Anyone in line by 8 p.m. can still register and vote.
Find your polling place: Visit Maine’s Voter Information Lookup Service and check with your municipal clerk for your local opening time.
You can register today. Eligible Mainers can register at their polling place on Election Day. Bring identification and proof of residence. If you lack those documents, speak with an election official about casting a challenged ballot.
Still have your absentee ballot? Return it directly to your municipal clerk or an official municipal ballot drop box by 8 p.m. today. Do not put it in the mail today: it must be received by the deadline, regardless of postmark.
Already mailed your ballot? Check its status through Maine’s Absentee Ballot Tracking Service. Updates are not instantaneous. If receipt is unclear, contact your municipal clerk promptly. If your absentee ballot has not been received, speak to local election officials at the polls about voiding your absentee ballot and voting in person on Election Day.
