Today Is Final Day For Bangor In-Person Voting!

Hey Bangor, check all the boxes and get ready for Election Day!

I didn't know what to expect when I pulled into the Buck Street entrance of the Cross Insurance Center yesterday afternoon to vote early. Much to my surprise(although I had only heard good things from other people) I was able to park right up near the door, and I was in and out, after a total of about 5 minutes. And everyone there could not have been more friendly and helpful.

Today is the final day to vote early, and if you want to avoid the stress and the potential chaos of Election Day, you should take advantage of the opportunity to do so!
