Elections & Voting

Overview

There are approximately 15,000 registered voters in the City of Westbrook. Our municipality is divided into five Wards, two State Senate Districts (26 & 27) and three State Representative Districts (126, 127 & 128). Each municipal Ward has a designated City Councilor and School Committee Member. In addition, the City Council and School Committee each have two At-Large positions tasked with representing the municipality as a whole.

Polling Locations

The Westbrook Community Center (426 Bridge Street) is the sole polling location for all Westbrook voters. Polls are open each Election Day from 6am - 8pm. 

Absentee voting is a convenient alternative to voting in-person on Election Day, allowing voters to obtain and vote their ballots either by mail or at City Hall prior to each Election Day. Please note that all absentee ballots must be returned to City Hall by 8pm on Election Day to be counted.
