Early Voting

New York state officials reassured voters on Monday that their ballots are safe, and they’re ready to tackle any instances of voter suppression or intimidation.

Over 56,000 Connecticut voters took advantage of the state’s first day of early voting on Monday. According to state officials, the rollout was smooth despite long lines.

The ballot question asks Connecticut voters to approve or reject a constitutional amendment that would require the state legislature to authorize no-excuse absentee voting.

In-person early voting begins in Connecticut next Monday, and according to election experts, it may not significantly increase voter turnout.

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.
