For this coming election, Maine residents still can register to vote right up to and on election day.

For our democracy to work, we all must participate in the process of voting. Please register and vote. Encourage family, friends and neighbors to do the same.

Voting is the most importance action we can perform to maintain the strength and vitality of our system of government.

Voting makes the difference: By casting a ballot, each citizen has a voice in deciding who will serve in office and what positions will be taken on major issues.

Absentee ballots are now available in many municipalities.

For more information about how to register to vote and voting, visit http://maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/voterguide. html or contact the local registrar of voters.

Remember, for this coming election, Maine residents still can register to vote right up to and on election day. And vote.
