Secretary of the State Reminds Voters that Mail-in Registrations Must be Postmarked by Today; More Than 14,000 New Voters Have Registered Since the Beginning of October
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz today reminded eligible voters in Connecticut that they have one week to register to vote before the General Election on November 2, 2010. Voters who want to register by mail must have their registration cards postmarked no later than today, October 19th and the final deadline to register to vote in-person at town or city offices is Tuesday October 26th. Secretary Bysiewicz is also reporting that the number of registered voters in Connecticut continues to rise, with another 14,000 new voters registering since the beginning of October and more than 67,000 new voters registering so far in 2010.
“There is only one week left to register to vote, and I urge every eligible voter: don’t sit on the sidelines. Register now so your voice can be heard on November 2nd,” said Secretary Bysiewicz, Connecticut’s top elections official. “The leaders we choose to serve us in Hartford and Washington, D.C. will have great impact on our state for years. We have many competitive races, and every vote is going to count in 2010. If you are not registered, you must put your forms in the mail by today and you have one week to register in-person at your town offices. Time is running out to register, so I encourage everyone concerned with the direction of our country and our state to register to vote now so you can cast a ballot on November 2nd.”
Secretary Bysiewicz also reported today that the total number of registered voters in Connecticut is 2,009,938. The largest group of registered voters in Connecticut is unaffiliated, accounting for 835,887 voters. There are 746,080 registered Democrats and 415,663 registered Republicans.
