DANBURY, CT — Danbury voters will head to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3, to elect state and federal officials and decide two proposed revisions to the city's charter.
Races on the ballot include governor, Congress, state Senate, state House, secretary of the state, treasurer, comptroller, attorney general, judge of probate and registrar of voters.
Danbury voters are divided among five state House districts, meaning the candidates for state representative will vary by address.
Here's what to know about the candidates, polling places and voting deadlines, based on the official 2026 Danbury sample ballots.
2nd District
108th District
109th District
110th District
138th District
Danbury voters will also answer two questions about proposed changes to the City Charter.
Question 1: Four-Year Terms For Municipal Officials
The first question asks whether the city should extend the terms of municipal elected offices to four years beginning with the November 2027 municipal election.
The proposal covers the mayor, town clerk, treasurer, City Council, Zoning Commission, zoning alternates and constables. It also proposes changes to Board of Education members' terms under a separate provision of the revised charter.
Question 2: Additional Charter Revisions
The second question asks whether voters approve the remaining charter revisions recommended by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the City Council.
Voters can review the full wording of both questions and the accompanying explanatory materials before casting their ballots.
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3. Voters who are in line by 8 p.m. may cast a ballot.
