Municipal Election and School Election
Address
Voting in the June 8 school budget and Town elections will be from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 8, at the Center for All Seasons, 1 Center Drive along Route 27 in the village.
You must be a registered voter to vote. You may register at the Town Office, 990 Augusta Road, or at the polls on Election Day. You will need a Maine driver’s license with a current physical address or a photo ID. If either of these do not have your current living address, you must bring a piece of mail, a utility bill, a phone bill, a copy of a lease or a rental agreement. You may also swear an oath of residency.
Voters will consider ratifying a school budget of $40,492,119 that RSU 18 voters approved at the district’s budget meeting May 20. Additionally, voters will consider three Town items:
QUESTION 1) To see if the Town will appropriate $25,000 from the undesignated fund to construct a cement pad for storage containers at the Transfer Station, with any unexpended balance lapsing into the Solid Waste Capital Reserve. Additionally, to see if the Town will appropriate $33,874 from the undesignated fund to raise the balance of the Solid Waste Capital Reserve to $50,000. On Dec. 31, 2020, the undesignated fund balance was $3,530,027. The Solid Waste Capital Reserve balance will be $16,126 following a paving project in June.
QUESTION 2) To see if the Town will vote to appropriate the lapsed amount of $45,000 from the undesignated fund for the purchase of a one-ton facility maintenance truck. The truck was not purchased in 2020 due to COVID-19. On Dec. 31, 2020, the undesignated fund balance was $3,530,027.
QUESTION 3) To see if the Town will vote pursuant to 36 MRSA section 506 to authorize the tax collector to accept prepayment of property taxes prior to the delivery of the tax commitment to the tax collector by the assessors without payment of interest.
Completed absentee ballots may be returned in the Town Office, in the secured ballot dropbox under the porch on the north side of the building (turn left at the flagpole), anytime before 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 8, or to the Center for All Seasons on Election Day.
