3.04 Elections. <br />Orono administers city, county, state, and federal elections for its residents in even -numbered years. School district <br />elections are administered in odd -numbered years by each school district. Although the administrative team <br />routinely administers elections every other year, the team has to remain certified and prepared to administer a <br />special election at any time with little notice if an office for any level of representative becomes vacant. <br />The team developed plans and budget for five elections in 2024 including record maintenance work to remain in <br />compliance with the retention and destruction schedule. Records from 2022 elections were able to be destroyed <br />opening up more room in our storage area. <br />Date of election <br />Mar 5 <br />Apr 30 <br />May 14 <br />Aug 13 <br />Nov 5 <br />Type of election <br />Primary - <br />Primary - <br />General - <br />Primary <br />General <br />Presidential <br />Special <br />Special <br />President; <br />Federal office <br />President <br />Senator <br />Vice President; <br />Senator; <br />Representative D3 <br />Senator D45; <br />Representative D45A; <br />Chief Justice; <br />Associate Justice SC5; <br />State office <br />- <br />_ <br />_ <br />Senator <br />Associate Justice SC6; <br />D45 <br />Judges COA 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, <br />14; <br />Judges DC 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, <br />13, 15, 17, 22, 24, 33, 40, 44, <br />48, 49, 56, 58, 59 <br />County office <br />- <br />Commissioner <br />Commissioner <br />- <br />Commissioner D6 <br />D6 <br />D6 <br />Local office <br />- <br />- <br />- <br />- <br />Mayor; Councilmembers (2) <br />Pre -Registered voters <br />6,361 <br />6,379 <br />6,388 <br />6,472 <br />6,626 <br />New registrations <br />18 <br />1 <br />5 <br />16 <br />175 <br />Voters — absentee <br />108 <br />31 <br />42 <br />121 <br />3,671 <br />Voters — election day <br />855 <br />195 <br />428 <br />606 <br />2,347 <br />Election workers <br />26 <br />24 <br />25 <br />51 <br />80 <br />3.05 Records. <br />Administration reviewed about 54 requests for public documents or an average of one every week.
