LEWISTON – City Hall will be open for three hours Saturday to register voters.

The City Clerk’s Department will open to register voters and take absentee ballots before Tuesday’s municipal election.

The office will be open from 9 a.m. to noon. The City Clerk’s Department is on the second floor of City Hall at 27 Pine St. An elevator is available next to the City Clerk’s Office.

Residents who need 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 Office.

Assistant Clerk Kelly Mercier said the office is expecting heavy voter turnout in the election. Registering before Election Day will let first-time voters avoid long waiting lines on Election Day, Nov. 6.

Voters who wish to vote by absentee ballot may also do so during the extended Saturday hours.

These voter services can also be conducted during the city’s regular business hours.
