Rock the vote resources

The Maine Secretary of State's office has a number of resources for you to host your own voter registration drive at your high school or college. Below is information provided by their office which can be found in full on their website HERE.

​The Maine Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commissions provides your school with voter registration cards, but it's up to you to make your classmates aware of the importance and power of their vote. The State of Maine allows 17- and 18-year-olds to register so high school juniors and seniors will be eligible to take part in your drive.

Be sure to share photos of your event with us via the email below or on our Facebook page, Maine Department of the Secretary of State.

If you have questions about voter registration, please call the Elections Division of the CEC at 624-7650. For questions about the content of this site or other concerns, please contact the Department of the Secretary of State central office at 626-8400 or [email protected].
