Mid-term elections are just around the corner on Tuesday, Nov. 6. In order to maximize participation, the Old Lyme Registrars of Voters will hold their final special voter registration sessions at their office on the mezzanine level of Old Lyme’s Memorial Town Hall on Monday, Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
People can also register to vote Monday through Friday in the Town Clerk’s office if the Registrars are not available.
Absentee Ballots and Voter Registration Applications are available from the Town Clerk’s office — not through the Registrars. Absentee Ballots will be available from the Town Clerk on Oct. 5. For more information on Absentee Ballots, call the Town Clerk at 860-434-1605, ext. 221.
Oct. 30 is the last day for mail-in registration, on-line registration (until 11:59 p.m.), and in-person registration to be eligible to vote in the Nov. 6 election.
On-line voter registration is available 24/7 and is user-friendly. Visit www.voterregistration.ct.gov or the Secretary of the State’s website at www.SOTS.ct.gov, select Elections & Voting and then On-line registration.
On-line voter registration also allows voters to make changes to name, address, and/or party affiliation.
If you wish to know if — and how — you are registered, select Am I Registered to Vote? and then Voter Lookup Tool.
The only people who can register and be eligible to vote in the Nov. 6 election after Oct. 30 are those
- who turn 18, or
- become U.S. citizens, or
- move into town
after Oct. 30 and on/before Nov. 6. Persons in this category can apply for voter registration in the Registrar’s Office until 5 p.m. on Nov. 5.
The location for Election Day Registration (EDR) is the Registrars Office, Mezzanine Level, Town Hall, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
