Voting this November 4th, 2025

You can check your registration status at myvote.ct.gov/lookup

Step 1: Apply for your absentee ballot

Connecticut law allows you to receive an absentee ballot if, in your judgment, an absence from your town on Election Day prevents you from appearing at your polling place, or you are preventing from appearing at your assigned polling place on Election Day because of sickness or physical disability (not necessarily your sickness or disability), active service in the Military, religious tenets forbid secular activity on the day of the election, duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own during all of the hours of voting. To receive your absentee ballot please visit the state portal.

Step 2: Return your Ballot

Once you have filled out your Absentee Ballot, you have three options.

1. You may mail it back to your Town Clerk.

2. You may drop it off (physically) at the secure Absentee Ballot drop box installed outside of your town hall (see address above). The SOTS is recommending this as the safest option.

3. If you have received an Absentee Ballot, but change your mind and choose instead to vote in person on Election Day, you can still do so. Simply rip up your Absentee Ballot. (As a precaution, I would suggest you bring the ripped ballot with you to the polls so it is clear to the poll volunteers you have not already voted.)
