Voters living in Gorham’s three wards will go to the polls on June 11 to cast ballots on the 2019-20 school budget validation and on a local referendum to fund modular classrooms at Narragansett Elementary School.
There will be no referendum vote on renovating and enlarging Gorham High School.
The Town Council unanimously voted to place the referendum on the ballot and it reads: Shall the town be authorized to borrow and expend up to $2,800,000 to install modular classrooms/cafeteria space, including electrical, mechanical, security systems, site work and building connectors for the modular expansion at Narragansett Elementary School.
Absentee ballots are available now at the Municipal Center, but may not be returned until June 5 following the Town Council vote on the school budget. Beginning June 5, voters may also cast ballots at the Town Clerk’s office during regular office hours.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on June 11. Residents of Ward 1-1 vote at the Middle School, Ward 1-2 residents at the Little Falls Activity Center, and those in Ward 2 at the Municipal Center.
