The Town of Cape Elizabeth is currently conducting a voter registration purge. The purpose of a purge is to clarify the voter list.
Election law requires municipalities to conduct a systematic purge every five years.
Town Clerk Debra Lane has selected the targeted confirmation mailing process. Address Verification Notices will be forwarded to those voters who have not voted in the most recent elections, and to those who are believed to have moved from the community. Lane has tried to confirm, through other municipal records, whether a voter remains a Cape Elizabeth resident. Therefore, although one may not have voted recently, if records indicate a voter is a resident, the voter would not receive notification. For those who receive a card and the residence address is correct, there is no need to contact Town Hall.
