NEW HAVEN, CT — In-person early voting for the Nov. 3 state election starts Monday, Oct. 19, and runs 14 days, through Sunday, Nov. 1. Every Connecticut town must offer at least one early voting site, WFSB reported, and the Secretary of the State's list, last updated Oct. 8, names one in each of the 19 towns the Post covers, with a second in New Haven.
The state's election calendar sets the hours. Sites open at 10 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. daily, Saturdays and Sundays too, except on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and Thursday, Oct. 29, when they stay open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. There is no early voting on Monday, Nov. 2, the day before the election.
People who are not registered yet can register and vote in the same visit, WFSB reported. They need ID with their name and home address on it, a driver's license, a utility bill or a lease, for example.
