Look up your information, preview the ballot, and find answers from Connecticut election officials.
Sample ballots are added by town as they become available. In towns with multiple districts, choose the ballot for your address.
A few helpful answers
No. Registered voters can vote early in person without an application. For an absentee ballot, you must apply, but you do not need to give an excuse. Read the state’s absentee guidance.
Use the return envelope supplied with your ballot and print and sign your name. Return it by mail, at your Town Clerk’s office, or through your town’s secure ballot drop box. The Town Clerk must receive it by 8:00 p.m. on November 3. Contact your Town Clerk for the current drop box location.
Yes. Early voting is available every day from October 19 through November 1, including both Saturdays and Sundays. Standard hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; October 27 and 29 have extended hours.
Same-Day Registration is available during early voting and on Election Day for eligible voters. Bring proof of identity and residency to the designated site in your town. Confirm the location before you go; Election Day registration is not available at ordinary polling places.
