Tuesday Is Deadline to Register to Vote Before Election Day

Connecticut also has Election Day registration.

NBC Universal, Inc.

If you want to register to vote before Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 8, you need to do so by Tuesday, Nov. 1 or register on Election Day at your town hall.

You can register online at http://myvote.ct.gov/register.

Voters will be casting votes for several races, including governor, lieutenant governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representative, State Senator, State Representative, Secretary of the State, Treasurer, Comptroller, Attorney General, Judge of Probate and Registrar of Voters.

The Office of the Secretary of the State said Election Day Registration is available at your town hall on Election Day, but it is preferable to register in advance.

Election Day Registration is not available at your polling place but is available at a designated EDR location in each town, beginning at 6 a.m. and ending at 8 p.m.

You will register and vote at the designated EDR location in your town. (See the list below.)

Plan to arrive early in the day as there may be long lines. If you are in line at the Election Day Registration site at 8 p.m., you can remain in line to complete your registration and vote. You will need to provide proof of identity and residency.
