Election Day is Tuesday November 5. The polls will be open from 6 am to 8 pm at the Fire/Rescue station, 611 Lewiston Road (Route 100).
No local races or questions are on the ballot this fall, but two statewide questions will be decided. One is a transportation bond; the other would amend the Maine Constitution to permit individuals with disabilities to sign petitions in an alternative manner:
Question 1: Bond Issue
An Act To Authorize a General Fund Bond Issue To Improve Highways, Bridges and Multimodal Facilities
Do you favor a $105,000,000 bond issue to build or improve roads, bridges, railroads, airports, transit and ports and make other transportation investments, to be used to match an estimated $137,000,000 in federal and other funds?
Question 2: Constitutional Amendment
RESOLUTION, Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of Maine Concerning Alternative Signatures Made by Persons with Disabilities
Do you favor amending the Constitution of Maine to allow persons with disabilities to sign petitions in an alternative manner as authorized by the Legislature?
