Early Voting Information

Early Voting does not take place at Election Day poll locations. Instead, each city or town has one or two locations set up for Early Voting. In about 130 of our 169 municipalities, Early Voting is at City or Town Hall.

In nearly all cities or towns, the early voting location should be the same as it was in 2025. Check to be sure - find them here. (Check back or call your Registrar of Voters if your town is blank.)

The Early Voting period is October 19th to November 1st. Vote at your town's early voting location from 10 am to 6 pm daily. There are extended hours from to 8 am to 8 pm on Tuesday, October 27th and Thursday, October 29th.

No-Excuse Absentee Balloting

CT voters no longer need an excuse to vote using an absentee ballot. You may request an absentee ballot and return it any time before polls close on Election Day. You can request an absentee ballot online if you have a CT driver's license or non-driver ID. If you don't have a CT ID, you can download and complete a paper form to request your absentee ballot.
