You can register to vote online, by completing a voter registration card at your town office or city hall, through any Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch office, at most state and federal social service agencies, or at designated voter registration drives. You can also download and print the Maine Voter Registration Application here. Please note that both sides of the card will print on one page.

If you are unable to print the voter registration application, contact your town clerk to have a voter registration card mailed to you. A hard copy of the voter registration card, with your original signature, must be on file with your town clerk, so it cannot be transmitted electronically.
Completed voter registration cards can be hand-delivered or mailed to your town office or city hall. Check this list for phone numbers and mailing addresses for each town and city.
When you register to vote for the first time in Maine, you will need to provide identifying documentation that demonstrates you have established your voting residence in the State of Maine.
The following documents are acceptable proof of identity for voter registration purposes:
- Government-issued document or certificate with photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, state ID, valid United States Passport, military ID, federally recognized Indian tribal ID card)
- Government-issued document/certificate of ID without photo (e.g., certified birth certificate or signed Social Security card)
- Official document showing voter’s name and address (e.g., public assistance eligibility, utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck)
- Student photo ID card from a public or private high school or a state-approved college or university in Maine
- Verified unique identifier (Maine driver’s license number or last four digits of Social Security Number)
