As we look ahead to the Nov. 5 elections, Berlin Patch is devoted to bringing you the information you need about each race in town. Here's what you need to know in terms of voting districts, voting hours, candidates and more.

Take a look at the complete Berlin Patch 2013 Election Guide, so be sure to catch up and know what, and who - you are voting for before you head to the polls on Tuesday.

POLL INFORMATION
It can be a challenge to work voting into a packed day, but with polls opening at 6 a.m. and remaining open for voters throughout the day until 8 p.m., there's plenty of opportunity.

The polls will remain opened for anyone who is in line to vote as of 8 p.m., so if you are able to get there on time, get out and vote. Take a look below to find out exactly where.

VOTING DISTRICTS
Berlin has a total of five voting districts in town, divided to separate polls and keep them moving to get voters in and out quickly at a location near their home. Districts are as follows:

1. Willard School
