LEWISTON – Voter registration and absentee ballot voting services will be available in City Hall for three hours this Saturday morning.

The city is scheduling special hours from 9 a.m. to noon today at the City Clerk’s Department on the second floor of City Hall at 27 Pine St.

Clerk Kathy Montejo is urging people who need to register to vote for the first time in Lewiston, or who need to change their name or address, to do it before Election Day. She expects voter turnout to be heavy.

People who want to vote by absentee ballot may also do so during the extended Saturday hours. Voters are welcome to come to City Hall during the Saturday hours to vote by absentee ballot or to pick up a ballot for a family member.

Voters who are seeking additional information about the ballot issues may contact the Election Division of the Department of the Secretary of State for the 2006 Citizen’s Guide to the Referendum Election, or visit the city’s Web site at www.ci.lewiston.me.us.

For more information about hours, contact the Lewiston City Clerk’s Department at 784-2956, extension 214.
