HARTFORD — Secretary of the State Denise Merrill reminds eligible but still-unregistered voters that they can register and vote on Election Day at the Election Day Registration location in their town.

“Connecticut has Election Day Registration, so it is not too late for eligible voters to register and make their voice heard on Election Day,” said Merrill. “Every election official in Connecticut, in my office and in each of our 169 towns, is working hard to ensure that every eligible voter can register and that every registered voter votes!”

The Election Day Registration locations can be found at myvote.ct.gov/edr. Election Day Registration is available for new Connecticut voters or voters who have moved to a new town; voters who have moved within their town do not need to reregister. More information on Election Day Registration can be found at myvote.ct.gov/edrinfo. Unlike previous years, eligible voters only have to be in line by 8 pm in order to register and vote, they do not have to have registered by 8 pm.

In order to register on Election Day, a potential voter must provide their birth certificate, driver’s license, passport, or Social Security card, or in the case of college and university students, a current photo identification issued by their higher education institution. If the potential voter’s identification does not also include proof of their residential address, he or she must also bring another form of identification showing their residential address in the municipality such as a motor vehicle learner’s permit, a utility bill due no later than 30 days after the election, a current college or university registration or fee statement, a lease, a library card with residential address, a paycheck, a property tax bill, naturalization documents, or other satisfactory proof of residence.
