The voter registration deadline for advance registration is 21 days before an election, but again, same-day registration is available.

Georgetown conducts municipal elections annually in June for town officers including selectmen, school board members, and budget referendums.

The Board of Selectmen consists of three members serving staggered three-year terms. There is no mayor position.

In the November 2024 presidential election, Lincoln County recorded approximately 22,500 votes cast from roughly 26,000 registered voters, representing about 87% turnout. Georgetown specifically had approximately 850 registered voters with turnout exceeding 80%, reflecting Maine's consistently high civic participation rates.

The November 3, 2026 general election will feature several significant races for Isle of Springs voters. Maine's gubernatorial election is scheduled for 2026, as Governor Janet Mills' current term expires; this will be a major statewide race. U.S. Senator Susan Collins' seat is not up in 2026 (next election 2026), but U.S. Senator Angus King's seat is up for election in 2024, not 2026, so no U.S. Senate race will appear. Maine's 1st Congressional District seat (which includes Lincoln County) will be on the ballot, as all U.S. House seats are contested every two years. State legislative races include Maine Senate District 13 and Maine House District 91, both representing Georgetown. Lincoln County will elect a County Commissioner, Sheriff, District Attorney, Register of Deeds, and Treasurer. Georgetown voters will also decide local school budget validation referendums.

Maine offers comprehensive absentee voting. Any registered voter may request an absentee ballot without providing a reason. Requests can be submitted online at www.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/AbsenteeBallot/index.pl, by mail, or in person at the Georgetown Town Office. Absentee ballot applications must be received by the Thursday before Election Day, though ballots requested in person can be obtained until 5:00 PM the day before the election. Completed absentee ballots must be returned by 8:00 PM on Election Day either by mail or hand delivery to the Town Clerk. Maine tracks absentee ballot status online at the Secretary of State website where voters can confirm their ballot was received and accepted.
