Absentee Voting

The Connecticut Online Absentee Ballot Request Portal opens September 19, 2026.

Under Connecticut's updated absentee voting law, all eligible registered voters may request an absentee ballot for primary, state, and special elections. A qualifying reason is no longer required.

Applications submitted through the online portal are sent directly to the Town Clerk for review. Once approved, absentee ballot materials will be mailed to the voter beginning October 2, 2026.

The deadline to request an absentee ballot for the State Election is November 2, 2026.

A valid Connecticut driver's license or non-driver ID is required to use the online portal.

For questions regarding voting, early voting, absentee ballots, or voter registration, please contact the North Canaan Town Clerk's Office.
