GENERAL INFO
Overview
There are approximately 13,500 registered voters in the City of Westbrook. Our municipality is divided into five Wards, two State Senate Districts (26 & 27) and three State Representative Districts (126, 127 & 128). Each municipal Ward has a designated City Councilor and School Committee Member. In addition, the City Council and School Committee each have two At-Large positions tasked with representing the municipality as a whole.
Polling Locations
The Westbrook Community Center (426 Bridge Street) is the sole polling location for all Westbrook voters. Polls are open each Election Day from 6am - 8pm.
Absentee voting is a convenient alternative to voting in-person on Election Day, allowing voters to obtain and vote their ballots either by mail or at City Hall prior to each Election Day. Please note that all absentee ballots must be returned to City Hall by 8pm on Election Day to be counted.
REGISTERING TO VOTE
To register to vote in the City of Westbrook, you must meet the following criteria:
- You must be a citizen of the United States
- You must be a resident of the City of Westbrook
- You must be 18 years of age. A 17 year-old may register to vote and may participate in a primary election or municipal caucus if they will be 18 by the date of the General Election. A 16 year-old may pre-register to vote, but may not participate in any election.
You may register to vote in person at City Hall, by mail or at the polls on Election Day. You may be asked to provide proof of identity (such as your Maine Driver's License, State ID or the last four digits of our Social Security Number) and/or proof of your Westbrook residency (such as your Maine Driver's License showing your current Westbrook address, or a utility bill) to complete your voter registration record. For additional information, please contact 207-591-8116.
The State of Maine also allows online voter registration at this site. Keep in mind there is a deadline date for this and after that deadline you will need to register in person.
ABSENTEE VOTING
The November 5th election is expected to have a heavy turnout so if you want to avoid the lines on election day then Absentee Voting is a great solution! You can request a ballot via phone or mail or can even vote in person at City Hall. Full details are available on the City website.
