Early Voting Begins | What You Need to Know

Early Voting is now an option in Connecticut. It was approved by voters in 2022 and in 2023 the legislature approved its implementation for elections after April 1, 2024 and beyond.

The first election utilizing early voting is the Presidential Preference Primary on April 2, 2024.

Please take note of the following dates for the Presidential Preference Primary Early Voting Period:

 

KEY DATES AND TIMES:
March 26, 27, 28, 30 – Connecticut will have four days of early voting – March 26, 27, 28 and 30. Hours will be 10 AM to 6 PM. Voters should check with their local town registrar’s office for their town’s early voting location.April 1 – The deadline to register in person in your city or town is noon on April 1 if you want to vote on April 2.

CASTING A BALLOT:

  • Absentee Ballot voting requires a reason (from a list of six found at MyVote.CT.gov). Early Voting is available to every eligible voter without a specific reason. Early Voting may only be done in person, not via mail or drop box. You must provide adequate identification, as if voting in person on election day.
  • The election official at your Early Voting location will record that you’ve cast your ballot, preventing you from voting early at any other location, submitting an absentee ballot, or voting on Election Day.
  • Ballots cast during Early Voting will be sealed and stored securely in each town. They will be opened and counted on Election Day.
  • Anyone encountering problems on Election Day should call the Election Day Hotline at 1-866-733-2463 or send an email to [email protected]
