Connecticut now requires each municipality in the state to establish at least one early voting location. There will be 14 days of early voting for general elections, 7 days for most primaries, and 4 days for special elections and presidential preference primaries. 

Please note that early voting will not be an option for Town Referenda or Town Committee elections.

Other exceptions:

• State holidays are always excluded from the early voting period
• In 2024, Easter is also excluded
• Exclusions don't usually extend the period

Early Voting Hours:

For specific hours, please contact your local elections official. 

Same Day Registration for Early Voting

During a primary election, registering before noon allows you to vote the next day. Registering after noon allows you to vote the day after. For regular elections, you can register and vote on the same day at an early voting location.

Early Voting vs. Absentee Voting

No excuse is required for early voting, but an excuse is still required for absentee voting. Early voting is done in-person, while absentee ballots may be returned in-person, via mail, or to a drop box.
