Early voting starts today in Maine! Starting today (through Oct 29) you can vote at your local town office. If you’re already registered to vote, you don’t need to bring anything with you. If you haven’t registered to vote, just bring proof of ID and residency with you to register same day.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.
