Local elections are where our voices matter most. The people we elect at the town level make choices that affect our daily lives, from classroom resources to emergency services and how we care for one another as a community. Yet many local races are decided by only a handful of votes. Your vote can make the difference!

Now is the time to get informed and make a plan to vote.

Early Voting in Connecticut begins October 20 and continues through November 2.
