The Connecticut Democracy Center (CTDC) will take part in National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, September 15 and invite people to Connecticut’s Old State House at 800 Main Street in Hartford between 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to confirm their voting status. Adults at least 17 years old (turning 18 on or before election day) can stop by to register regardless of what town or city they reside. Connecticut residents will need a Connecticut DMV ID (includes driver’s license, learner’s permit and non-driver photo ID) issued by Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles.
The CTDC is striving to get every eligible Connecticut resident registered before their next trip to the ballot box on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. National Voter Registration Day serves as a civic rallying cry to raise awareness of the need to ensure every American is #VoteReady to take part in often forgotten “off-year” elections that shape the future of communities across the United States.
Don’t be one of the millions of eligible voters who are unable to cast a ballot because of frustrating stumbling blocks like missed deadlines, outdated information, or easily fixable paperwork problems.
Policy decisions about law enforcement, school curricula, housing, public safety, tax rates, and more, are all decided by local elections. Registering voter ensures Connecticut residents exert control over the political process that impacts their lives daily.
