Absentee Voting
The Connecticut Online Absentee Ballot Request Portal is now open.
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.
A valid Connecticut driver's license or non-driver ID is required to use the online portal.
