Early Voting
Early voting will be available from October 21-31 and November 1-3. Early voting will be available in the Ludlow Room, at Town Hall from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on October 29 & 31) on those days. During early voting, voters will present identification to poll workers who will then electronically cross the voter off the check list. The voter will then receive a ballot, and insert it into an envelope. On election day, election workers will open these envelopes, and place the ballots into a secure receptacle to register the votes. There is no application required to participate in early voting.
Voting on Election Day
The 2024 Presidential Election is on 11/5/2024. All seven polling locations will be open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Frequently Asked Questions
Early Voting allows you to vote in person safely and securely before Election Day.
When you arrive at the Ludlow Room, you will check in and be verified as an eligible voter. You will then receive your ballot with an envelope. You will complete your ballot at a privacy booth and seal it in the approved envelope. Before you leave, place the sealed envelope in the secure receptacle as instructed by the election officials. Ballots will be secured unopened until Election Day.
Ballots cast during Early Voting will be sealed and stored securely in the Town Clerk’s vault. They will be opened and counted on Election Day in a secure and confidential process.
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 be done only in-person, not via mail or drop box.
