voting via absentee ballot

How do I vote via Absentee Ballot? Am I eligible to vote via Absentee Ballot?

Eligibility: 

A new law passed this year further expands eligibility for absentee voting. If you are out of town part of the day (commuters, vacation), caretaking for someone worried about an illness like COVID-19 or you yourself are worried about illness, and that reason prevents you from voting in-person, you are eligible to vote via Absentee Ballot. 


Other reasons you are entitled to vote via Absentee Ballot include: 

  • If you are an active member of the armed forces
  • You will be out of town for the entirety of Election Day
  • A physical disability prevents you from voting in person on Election Day
  • Sickness prevents you from voting in person on Election Day
  • Your religious beliefs prevent you from participating in activities like voting on Election Day
  • You be working as an election official at a polling place other than your own on Election Day


To learn more, visit the Secretary of the State's website here. 


Voting via Absentee Ballot requires a TWO-STEP process:

1. You must first submit an application to receive a ballot.

2. Then you may vote using the ballot.


As of October 2022, you may also request your absentee ballot online. Request online here.


You can also contact your Town Clerk for an absentee ballot application OR you may download the application now from the Secretary of State's website. Follow the instructions CAREFULLY. If you have questions, please contact us.

Absentee Ballot Information:

Absentee ballots have already been mailed to anyone who returned an application. 


When completing your ballot, FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS VERY CARFULLY.


You can return your completed ballot via mail or via drop off to the safe and secure ballot drop box in your town. 


Delivery deadline for absentee ballots is 8 pm, either by mail or in the ballot drop boxes, on Election Day Tuesday, November, 8th 2022. Note: this is the DELIVERY deadline, not the postmark date if mailing your ballot.


If you are mailing your ballot or using the ballot drop box, you may check online to confirm it was received at https://portaldir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx

Other Helpful Information

Can I vote in the Democratic Primary on August 9th?

In order to vote in the Democratic Primary in Connecticut, you must be registered as a member of the Democratic party. 

  • Registered Democrats may vote in the Democratic primary. 
  • Unaffiliated voters may only vote in the Democratic primary if they register as a Democrat by August 8th, in-person at noon (12 pm)
  • Registered Republicans may not vote in the Democratic primary, but they may vote in the Republican primary, also to be held on August 9th. The deadline has passed for the primary election to switch party from Republican to Democrat. 
  • You can change your party enrollment for the general election here: myvote.ct.gov/register


Note: You may switch enrollment to or from a political party at any time, but there is a three-month waiting period to attain voting privileges in your new party (unaffiliated voters are not part of a political party). 


When will we receive election results?

  • Preliminary vote tallies for in-person balloting are due to the state by midnight on Election Day.
  • All vote totals, including absentee ballots, are due not later than 48 hours after the close of polls.


What do I need to bring with me to vote?

  • For most voters, any kind of preprinted form or ID with a photo is appropriate. If a voter does not have a photo ID, a paycheck stub or a utility bill is appropriate to show at the polls. If a voter doesn’t have any of that, they may sign an affidavit, under the potential criminal penalties of issuing a false statement. For first-time voters who registered by mail, current and valid photo IDs, utility bills or a paycheck stub with their name and address are required. Read more about in-person voter ID requirements here.


Election Day Voter Registration Requirements:

  • Election Day Voter Registration allows eligible voters to register and vote in person on an Election Day. Election Day Registration (EDR) is only available at a designated EDR location in each town, beginning at 6 am and ending at 8 pm. You must be registered by 8 pm in order to vote. Voters registered in one town, but have moved to another town, are also eligible for EDR. You can find EDR locations here: myvote.ct.gov/EDR


Should a student register to vote at their home address or school address?

  • You can do either.
  • You can register to vote where you have a legal domicile, or address where you live. Since many students have an address at school and with their families, they can vote in either place although they can be registered in just one. If you are in school in another state, you may choose to vote in that state as long as you are registered there – but be sure to check the rules in that state, as each state has its own registration and voting laws. 
  • Students may also vote in Connecticut by Absentee Ballot from the state where they attend school as long as they are registered to vote in Connecticut.
