TOWN CLERK This year has been very different in the Clerk’s Office since COVID. In the beginning of the pandemic the window closed to the public for safety precautions, but with protocols in place we were able to open back up safely and keep residents and staff healthy. I am happy to announce after many classes and trainings, I passed my exam and became a Maine Certified Clerk. I will be recognized by Maine Town City Clerks Association in the fall. Changes with staffing happened and we welcomed a new Deputy Clerk Lorrie Rand. Treasurer Lisa Prevost and her have been extremely helpful during these crazy times.

With rules of maintaining social distancing and limits of indoor gatherings, staff and elections clerks were able to provide a safe place to exercise your right to vote. November Presidential Election 1722 people absentee voted or voted in person and we had a great turnout of 74%. There is now a locked drop box available during elections to drop your absentee ballot off safely. Please check out the Town Website
