To be eligible to vote you must be:

• A U.S. citizen living in Connecticut
• At least 17 years old and turning 18 years old by Election Day
• Done with confinement and parole if previously convicted of a felony and have had your voting rights restored

Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Connecticut, you only lose your right to vote if you are currently incarcerated for a felony conviction. If you lost your voting rights because of a conviction, you could register to vote immediately after release. Your voting rights are not restricted by pretrial detention, misdemeanors, probation, or parole unless you have been convicted of election offenses. In that case, you must complete any terms of probation and parole. 

Voters without traditional residence: 

In Connecticut, an individual is considered a town resident if they have a genuine connection to that specific town and express an intention to return to it when they are away. This connection can be established through activities such as spending time in the town, staying overnight, and planning to return to it in the future. 

Voters who do not have traditional housing are allowed to utilize a local shelter or post office as their mailing address when registering to vote. At the same time, they can provide a specific location, such as a park bench, as their physical address. It is crucial to take responsibility for checking mail at the address provided. After successful registration, a confirmation letter will be sent to you via mail.
