Online voter registration open through Oct. 15, same-day registration up to and on election day

Maine has seen a surge in online voter registration, with more than 10,000 voters using that method to register in September and already more than 5,000 so far in October.

Online voter registration is available through Tuesday. However, Maine has same day voter registration, so Mainers can register to vote and cast their ballot at the same time, including on Election Day, Nov. 5.

“Mainers have a lot of options for how to register to vote,” Secretary of State Shenna Bellows wrote in a statement shared Friday, “but online voter registration is an easy, convenient way for folks to register at their own convenience, and have one fewer thing on their to do list before casting a ballot.”

The online registration option can be used not only to register to vote for the first time in Maine but also to change party enrollment and update information on existing Maine voter registrations.
