(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont and Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas today are reminding Connecticut voters that a 14-day period of early voting for the 2025 general election is set to begin on Monday, October 20, 2025. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
Early voting provides all voters with the opportunity to cast their ballots in-person on a day of their choosing prior to Election Day – including on two separate weekends – creating more convenience for voters and encouraging greater participation in elections. Connecticut’s system of early voting was first used in 2024. This is the second general election that early voting has been available in the state.
The 2025 general election is for municipal offices.
“With busy work and family lives, early voting provides a convenience for voters, enabling them more options to cast their ballots at their convenience,” Governor Lamont said. “Early voting has been available in nearly every state in the U.S. for years and I’m glad that we finally have it in Connecticut. I encourage everyone to cast their ballots in this election.”
“Early voting gives everyone more flexibility to participate – and this year’s two-week period allows people to cast their ballot on two weekends, which many voters told us they needed,” Secretary Thomas said. “You can make voting a fun part of your weekend — stop by on your way to brunch, after errands, or between other plans. No matter when you cast your ballot, these elections let us have our say on issues that really shape our daily lives, from property taxes and public works to school programs and conservation. Every vote matters, and taking part is the best way to make your voice heard in your community.”
All early voting is conducted at specifically designated locations in each municipality and may not necessarily be the same location where voting is held on Election Day. Most municipalities have just one early voting location. For a list of every town and city’s early voting locations, visit MyVote.CT.gov. Voters can also check the website of their local registrar of voters for early voting location information. Voters can only vote in the town or city in which they are registered.
