Early Voting Set to Begin on Monday, October 21st

Voting in this year’s election is set to begin this coming Monday, October 21st, as Connecticut’s new early voting system will allow voters to cast ballots for two weeks prior to the Tuesday, November 5, 2024 election day.

The election for President, United States Senate and House of Representatives, state Senate and House of Representatives and Registrar of Voters are on the ballot this year, as well as a long-sought voting rights Constitutional amendment.

The League of Women Voters of the New Britain Area has working to make sure people know about their early voting opportunity. The voting rights organization is also advocating a “yes” vote on a ballot question to allow voting by mail for everyone.

Voters are now permitted under state law to cast their votes before that in early voting days that run from October 21st to November 3rd.

Early voting is at the Senior Center at 55 Pearl Street.

The days and times of early voting are:

  • October 21st, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 22nd, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 23rd, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 24th, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 25th, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 26th, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 27th, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 28th, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 29th, 8:00am to 8:00pm
  • October 30th, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • October 31st, 8:00am to 8:00pm
  • November 1st, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • November 2nd, 10:00am to 6:00pm
  • November 3rd, 10:00am to 6:00pm

For those who have not voted already, voting on November 5th is at the city’s various voting district polling places from 6:00am to 8:00pm. City Council Majority Leader, Ald. John McNamara has published a list the New Britain polling places for November 5th on his website, as well as a sample ballot.

In addition to informing people about early voting, the League of Women Voters also points out that, “No Excuse Absentee Voting will be on the Ballot this Year,” saying,

The LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF CT recommends a YES vote on this question. As a Connecticut voter, the choice of whether you vote in person or absentee should he YOURS and YOURS ALONE, without having to justify it to anyone else.

VOTE ON THE QUESTION - VOTACION SOBRE LA PREGUNTA YES/SI NO/NO Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to allow each voter to vote by absentee ballot? ¿Deberia enmendarse la Constitución estatal para permitir que la Asamblea General permita a cada votante votar en ausencia?
