Register, Get Your Absentee Ballot This Month

The candidates have been chosen for this year’s municipal elections on November 5. Norfolk is fortunate to have so many citizens willing to take on these important public service roles. Coming out to vote is one way to show your support for them.

Registering to vote is quick and easy. If you are not already registered, you should register in person by October 30 or by mailing your application by October 23 to vote in this election. Registration applications are available at town hall or in the “Elections” and “Voting” sections of the Connecticut Secretary of State website, www.sots.ct.gov.

If you are registered but will be away on election day, you will need an absentee ballot. First, you have to apply for your ballot. The application for an absentee ballot is available at town hall or in the “Elections” and “Voting” sections of the Connecticut Secretary of State website, www.sots.ct.gov. Once your application is approved, you will get your ballot. Fill it out and return it in person before election day or send it by mail so that it reaches town hall by election day. Assistance with registering and obtaining an absentee ballot is available: contact Town Clerk Linda Perkins or a registrar of voters (Republicans: Phylis Bernard; Democrats: Mary Reeve).
