Polls always open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.

Unsure of party affiliation or status as a voter? Call the office at (203) 271-6680. The staff will provide and explain a voter’s status quickly. Remember, only voters affiliated with political parties may participate in Connecticut primaries.
The deadline for switching political parties has passed for the August primary. If an unaffiliated voter wishes to become a Democrat in time to vote in the primary, however, they may still do so.
Active voters who cannot remember where they vote can call us or check the street list linked below (note that certain address numbers on the same street may determine district & polling place: A=all numbers; E=even numbers; O=odd numbers).
