Early Voting

Connecticut local election officials are better prepared to handle early voting for November’s general election following a successful rollout of the process for Tuesday’s primaries, according to Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas.

The vote totals were 8,747 during Connecticut's first-ever week of early voting, leading up to Tuesday’s primary election

This year, all of the State Senate and House of Representative seats are up for grabs, and some have primaries. That’s including a four-way Democratic primary race in Bridgeport.

The primaries, a gentle test for CT’s first foray into in-person early voting, saw about 18,000 votes cast ahead of Tuesday.

This was the first time Connecticut allowed early voting for the presidential primary. New York began offering it in 2020.

Connecticut voters will be able to participate in early voting this week, a first for the state.

In Connecticut, early voting begins for the first time next Tuesday. Residents will be allowed to vote early for four days ahead of the state’s presidential primary.

Connecticut voters will be able to submit their ballots early starting in 2024 as Governor Ned Lamont has signed the law to legalize early voting.

The 2023 Connecticut and New York legislative sessions are ending. We check in to see which bills will become laws and which didn't make it to the finish line.

The Senate voted Tuesday night and early Wednesday for final passage of two election measures, one bringing early voting to Connecticut and another that will ask voters by referendum in 2024 to authorize no-excuse absentee voting.
