Election Day is here and here’s everything you need to know.
The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. While the polls are open until 8 p.m., anyone who is in line at that time will be allowed to vote.
Voters will need a copy of a current and valid photo ID that shows the voter’s name and address or a copy of a current utility bill, bank, statement, government check, paycheck, or government document that shows the voter’s name and address.

If you have not registered to vote but want to vote on Tuesday, you have the option of same-day registration.
Same-day registration allows for people who are not yet registered or who are registered in one town, but have moved to another town to register and vote on Election Day, according to the Office of the Secretary of the State.
For Election Day, the same-day registration location will be different than your polling location.
Click here for a town-by-town list of same-day-registration locations.
To qualify for same-day-registration, you must:
• Be a bona fide resident of the town where you are registering
• If convicted of a felony, have completed confinement
If you see any issues, you can report it to the workers at the polls or you can call the Election Day Hotline: 1-866-733-2463. You can also email them: elections@ct.gov.
