A total of 13,266 of 41.18 percent of registered voters went to the polls, according to the Registrar of Voters.

Ballot Question

Voters will also be asked, “Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to remove restrictions concerning absentee ballots and to permit a person to vote without appearing at a polling place on the day of an election?”. The Connecticut League of Women Voters has a “primer” on the ballot question with links to articles from the organization’s Home page. The Hartford Courant also has a “primer,” which is this article about the ballot question.
