Voter Registration Deadline for Municipal Elections Approaching
Registration forms must be postmarked by Tuesday, Oct. 22; in-person deadline is 8 p.m. Oct. 29.
The deadline to register to vote for the Nov. 5 municipal elections is rapidly approaching.
If you'd like to vote on Election Day, you have to have your voter-registration form postmarked by Tuesday, Oct. 22. If you want to register in-person at your local Registrar of Voters' office, you must do so by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 29.
“The municipal elections to decide who will serve in some key decision making roles in your community are approaching very fast, so I urge adult citizens of Connecticut to make sure they are registered now,” said Secretary Merrill, Connecticut’s chief election official, in a news release. “Crucial decisions on town and city budgets, schools, infrastructure and environmental policy are facing many towns in our state. Make sure you have a voice by either putting your registration card in the mail by tomorrow or registering to vote in-person at town hall by next Tuesday at 8:00 p.m.”
