On Election Day, Gov. Ned Lamont, Democrat, unofficially received 646,742 votes, and his Republican challenger Ryan Fazio earned 454,488 with about 90 percent of the full vote total.
According to unofficial results, Democrats swept all five congressional seats once again, with Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, Luke Bronin, Joseph Courtney, and Jahana Hayes all winning.
Also winning reelection were Democrats, Attorney General William Tong, Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas, Treasurer Erick Russell, and Comptroller Sean Scanlon, according to the Secretary of State's website.
Here is how Bridgeport residents voted in the key races:
