Bangor holds Primary + Special Municipal Election Tuesday 14th

Didn’t we just vote. Or does it only seem like last week.

Here comes another chance to ‘exercise your right.’  Tuesday is the City of Bangor’s Primary and Special Municipal Election

If you drive the streets of Bangor you’ve seen the signs. Meaning it’s time.

The polling place for all Bangor voters is the Cross Insurance Center located at 515 Main Street. Voters should enter via the Southwest Entrance off Buck Street.

Polls will be open on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.

What are we voting for?

Bangor voters will be casting a ballot for election of one member to the City Council.  This is to replace the late Sarah Dubay. Sarah passed away from lung cancer in November 2021, at only 46 years old.

Also voters enrolled in the Democratic or Republican Party will also be casting a State Primary ballot.

Early absentee voting is taking place through Thursday June 9^th at Cross Insurance Center from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

The deadline for requesting an absentee ballot is also Thursday June 9^th.

Absentee ballots are now available at the City Clerk’s office. If you are visiting Bangor City Hall to pick up an absentee ballot, remember you have to wear a mask.
You can also call the City Clerk’s office to request an absentee ballot at 992-4200. Or request one on-line. Here's the link. Bangor City Clerk is Lisa Goodwin and she can answer any question you may have about the process.
