LEWISTON – Voter registration hours will be extended for the next two Saturday mornings, according to the City Clerk’s office.

Clerks will register voters and collect absentee ballots at their office in City Hall from 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday and again on Oct. 30.

The City Clerk’s Department is on the second floor of City Hall at 27 Pine St.

City Clerk Kathy Montejo said she expects voter turnout to be heavy this year.

She advised voters to avoid long lines at the polls on Nov. 2 and make any changes to their voter registrations well in advance.

Residents needing to register to vote for the first time in Lewiston, or who need to change their name or address may do so at the City Clerk’s Department during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or during the special Saturday hours.

Voters who wish to vote by absentee ballot may also do so during the extended Saturday hours. They can come to City Hall during the Saturday hours to vote or to pick up a ballot for a family member.

Questions may be directed to the Lewiston City Clerk’s Department at 784-2956, extension 214.
