Same-day registration

If you have not registered to vote but want to vote on Tuesday, you have the option of same-day registration.

Same-day registration allows for people who are not yet registered or who are registered in one town, but have moved to another town to register and vote on Election Day, according to the Office of the Secretary of the State.

If you are not registered and wish to vote early, you can register and vote at your town's designated same-day registration location.

For Election Day, the same-day registration location will be different than your polling location.

In most towns, this will be the same as the early voting location, according to the Secretary of the State.
