Connecticut Opens 14 Days of In-Person Early Voting Through Nov. 1, Ahead of Nov. 3 Election Day
In Hartford, the capital of Connecticut in Hartford County in the northeastern United States, Governor Ned Lamont and Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas on Oct. 19 reminded voters that 14 days of in-person early voting for the 2026 general election have begun, running through Nov. 1, ahead of Election Day on Nov. 3.
Early voting takes place at designated locations in every town, generally from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, with extended hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 27 and Oct. 29. The secretary of the state's office noted that most towns have a single early voting site, which may differ from the Election Day polling place, and that voters may vote only in the town where they are registered.
Absentee ballots have been available since Oct. 2, with applications due by Nov. 2; Connecticut no longer requires voters to give a reason for voting absentee.
