The Registrar of Voter’s office will be mailing postcards over the next two weeks informing voters where they will be voting for the 2022 primaries, and for the general election in November.

Each of the four districts will be mailed with a different colored postcard.

Some voters may find their voting district changed due to redistricting that was approved by the Legislative Council in February. The redistricting occurred after the recent census, which is done every 10 years when new lines may be drawn to ensure equal representation.

That has happened and, as a result, Newtown is no longer in the 112th district or the 2nd district for State Reps. Newtown has kept the 106th district, and a part of the community is now in the 107th District, which also includes Brookfield.

With that, Head of Meadow School will no longer serve as a local polling location.

Districts 1-6 and 1-7 will vote at Newtown Middle School. District 1-6 will be part of the 106th. District 1-7 will be part of the new 107th.

District 2-6 will vote at Newtown High School in the front cafeteria. District 2-6 is part of the 106th.

District 3-6 will vote at Reed Intermediate School. District 3-6 is part of the 106th.

All of Newtown is still part of the 5th Congressional District and the 28th State Senatorial District.

Additionally, and in conjunction with Newtown IT Department GIS specialist Christina Woehrle, the registrars have produced an easy-to-use interactive map on the town website that allows voters to look up their address and find their Legislative Council district, as well as their state and federal representative district.

The online map can be accessed through the “Registrar of Voters” department by visiting newtown-ct.gov/registrar-voters — then clicking “Map of Voting Districts” in the left-hand blue sidebar.

Voters can then enter their address and their new district and polling place will pop up.

With the town having roughly 19,500 registered voters, the goal was to divide the town into three districts of as close to 6,500 people as possible. The final numbers are 6,427 in District 1, 6,541 in District 2, and 6,496 in District 3.

The Democrats and Republicans will be having primaries on August 9. Voting will take place at all three polling locations. Voters must belong to a party to vote in its primary.

The November election will be on November 8 at all three polling locations.

The registrar’s office is asking residents to watch their mail for the cards so they can know their current polling location. They are also asking residents to remember to vote.
