JAY — Absentee ballot applications are now available for the Nov. 5 election.
Absentee ballots will be sent to voters beginning in early October and available through Thursday, Oct. 31. After Oct. 31, voters must meet the special circumstances requirement to be eligible for an absentee ballot.
Voters who will be at least 65 years of age by the next election or who self-identify as having a disability may apply for ongoing absentee voter status. A voter who qualifies will automatically receive an absentee ballot for each statewide election, municipal election and any other election for which the voter is eligible to vote and need not submit a request for each election.
The form is available online but must be returned to the Town Office in person, by mail or through the drop box.
Voters can request an absentee ballot at the Town Office, by calling 207-897-6785, or by visiting maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/voter-info/absent.html.
Forms are available at maine.gov or by calling or stopping in the Town Office.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
