According to Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, if you want to register to vote by mail, your registration cards must be postmarked by Tuesday October 25th in order to qualify for the November Municipal elections. Eligible voters can also register in person at their Registrar of Voters office until 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday November 1st to qualify for the Municipal Elections.
“Crucial budget and educational issues are facing many towns in Connecticut as voters go to the polls to choose municipal leaders this year, so it is imperative to register to vote!” said Secretary Merrill. “Anyone who wants a say in the future direction of their community in these tough times should make sure they either mail in their registration card by next Tuesday October 25th or go to town hall and fill out the registration card in person by 8:00 p.m. on November 1st.”
Polls will open statewide from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday November 8, 2011, when the Middletown, along with most other municipalities, will hold its election.
