Polls in Windham and Gray are busy but running smoothly as residents of the Lakes Region turn up to cast their votes for president, legislature and voice their opinion on six state-wide referendum questions.

Eric Quatrano, officer with the Windham Police Department, said the peak hours of the morning at Windham High School were busy. From when the polls opened around 7 a.m., until around 9 a.m., a line of people waiting to vote stretched from the gymnasium, through the lobby and into the parking lot.

There was a small spike, he said, starting around 11 a.m., with people on their lunch break. But lines were moving quickly, and most people were waiting only to process their ballots. The polls were peaceful and voting was running smoothly.

In Gray, Town Manager Deborah Cabana was helping voters process their ballots at the Newbegin Gymnasium in the Henry Municipal Complex. She said the peak hours of the morning had been busy as well, but that things were running smoothly.

Gray residents are also voting whether to spend roughly $500,000 from undesignated surplus to support the relocation of the Portland-based Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum to their town.

In Gray, the polls are open 6 a.m.-8 p.m.

Windham residents line up with ballots in hand, and wait to cast their mid-morning on Tuesday. The polls were busy but peaceful, election officials said.
