The Town of Greenbush holds their yearly elections to correspond with the State Primaries in June. Due to the State regulations concerning the school systems we now hold our Town Meeting at least a week prior to elections as the Residents must vote by ballot to either accept or decline the School budget.
When a matter of importance necessitates a Special Town Meeting will be called by the Board of Selectmen during the year. Notices of elections and Town Meetings are posted at the Town Office, the Greenbush Post Office, Applebee's Store and Ketch's Olamon Market as well as in the Penobscot Times. Elections are held in the Town Hall 9:00 AM to 8:00PM and annual town meetings are held at the Helen S. Dunn School.

If not the process is made easy by the State of Maine. Residents may register to vote at any time including at the polls on Election Day. You can register at the Town Office; Motor Vehicle branch office; in most state & federal social service agencies, or at voter registration drives.
