SCROLL DOWN FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON VOTING
In-Person Early Voting: starts in Connecticut on Monday, October 21.
2024 is the first year that Connecticut is offering an Early Voting option.
Each town will have at least one Early Voting location, allowing voters to cast their vote from 10am to 6pm on any day between Monday, October 21st and Sunday, November 3rd.
In Salisbury that location will be the Town Hall, 27 Main St. Salisbury 06068
* Note: On October 29th and October 31st, Early Voting centers will be open longer, from 8 am to 8 pm.
There are many good reasons to take advantage of early voting,
Voting early means that you won't need to worry about something going wrong on Election Day, such as your car breaking down, a sick child needing to be taken to the doctor, or being called in to work or being called away unexpectedly.
And of course, avoiding the possibility of long lines on Election Day.
But there is another reason that really matters: When you vote early, the political campaigns will know that from public records and that saves campaign resources leading up to election day. Instead, campaigns can focus on calling others who have yet to vote.
Bottom line: If you want to help, vote on the first day of early voting or as soon as possible thereafter.
Connecticut voters have an important question on the November ballot that would allow all voters to request an absentee ballot without having to provide an excuse.
Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia already allow this commonsense access to mail-in ballots. Approving this change to the CT state constitution would be a big step forward for our state's voters.
Data from other states shows that no-excuse absentee ballots boost voter participation across the board, and importantly among younger voters and other groups with lower rates of voting.
But we need to get the word out so that a majority of voters will vote YES on this question. If you live anywhere in NW CT and would like a yard sign, please contact Lee Greenhouse at Lrgreenhouse@gmail.com.
