Officials in Maine’s largest city said Tuesday that Portland will operate 11 polling locations on the July 14 primary, as per normal.

The primary day ballot will include statewide and municipal balloting. One of the biggest items on the ballot is the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. The winner will face Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

Portland officials said early in-person absentee voting is underway now during the City Clerk’s office hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

On the day of the primary, voters who normally vote at Portland Expo will instead vote at Troubh Ice Arena next door.
