Our municipality is divided into five Wards, two State Senate Districts (25 & 28) and two State Representative Districts (34 & 35).

Polling Locations

Westbrook has one polling location for in-person voting on Election Day - the Westbrook Community Center Gym, located at 426 Bridge Street. Absentee voting (also called "early voting" or sometimes "vote by mail") is a convenient alternative, allowing people to obtain and vote their ballots either by mail or at City Hall prior to Election Day. 

Register to Vote

To register to vote in the City of Westbrook, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You must be a citizen of the United States
