Good Afternoon MEEOA,

I just wanted to remind everyone that if you are working on the TRIO Votes
challenge through COE and have students who will be registering to vote, if
they missed the deadline for mail-in registration being received today,
they still have until the day of the election (November 3) to register
in-person.

Other important deadlines are listed below:
*Absentee ballot deadlines*
Request: Received by Oct. 29
Return by mail: Received by Nov. 3 by 8:00 p.m.
Return in person: Nov. 3 by 8:00 p.m.

*Early voting*
Oct. 5 - Oct. 30, but dates and hours may vary based on where you live

Another useful tool is the Maine Absentee Ballot Tracking
<https://apps.web.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/AbsenteeBallot/ballot_status.pl>
website
that will help you, help your student ensure their ballot is either on its
way or has already been accepted at their polling location!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns,

Eric
