Throughout the Midcoast, polls are opening at town offices, municipal centers and fire stations as voters take on state and local issues and candidates, and, of course, vote for a president and Congressional delegates.
In Camden, voters lined up before the door to the Camden Public Safety Building opened.
But voting started by many much earlier, as soon as absentee ballots became available in early October. (Read: Midcoast absentee and early voting takes off at a fast clip)
