He attributed the interest from voters to ballot Question 1, which deals with banning electric transmission lines in the Upper Kennebec region.
In Waldo, Town Clerk Sandra Smith at mid-afternoon said she had 22 absentee ballots in hand, and so far had seen more voters than she expected. Although there were no lines inside, voters arrived steadily at the door to the Community Hall.
There was little action down the road at Morrill Community Center on Election Day afternoon.
