DAMARISCOTTA — The Lincoln County Democratic Committee is set to hold its next meeting Thursday, Sept. 19, featuring talks about the various referenda on Maine’s November ballot and voter rights.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. and will be in a hybrid format. Participants can join at the 2024 LCDC Campaign Headquarters, 27 River Road in Newcastle (across from The Lincoln Home), or via Zoom.

Guest speaker Anna Kellar, executive director at Democracy Maine (League of Women Voters of Maine and Maine Citizens for Clean Elections) will explain the five referenda on the ballot this November.

In addition, Will Hayward, voter protection and access director at the Maine Democratic Party, will make a presentation on the party’s voter protection program. That program helps ensure that every eligible Maine voter is able to register and cast their ballot safely, conveniently, and free from intimidation.

The meeting will also include updates on the 2024 campaign, previews of upcoming events, and welcoming of LCDC’s new members.

Those joining in person are asked to bring items for the committee’s food pantry partnership. Donations may also be brought to the office between 8-11 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 10, during LCDC’s presidential debate watch party.

All Lincoln County Democrats and unenrolled progressives are welcome to attend the meeting. LCDC voting members will automatically receive the Zoom log on information and reminders by email. Those interested in becoming a voting member must be a registered Democrat in Lincoln County and may make their interest known by indicating so at the in-person meeting, on the meeting registration form at lincolncountydemocrats.com/meet, or by emailing info@lincolncountydemocrats.com.

Registration for the meeting is required for non-voting members who want to receive Zoom log on and/or phone-in details. Register before noon the day of the meeting to ensure access. LCDC will do its best to accommodate last-minute registrations.
