“We are coming into the home stretch of the 2014 election cycle,” said Secretary Merrill, Connecticut’s top elections official. “Voters have just about a month – 28 days from today – to register to vote in this very important general election on November 4th. I strongly encourage any eligible voter with a driver’s license to use our online voter registration system to sign up to vote. It is easy, quick and secure, and you can even do it on our mobile app! I urge every eligible voter: don’t sit on the sidelines. Critical decisions about our state and federal government will be made by the people we elect to represent us Election Day. Make sure your voice is heard and register to vote!”
Secretary Merrill urges any U.S. citizen aged 18 or over to go online at www.sots.ct.gov/vote to find out if they are registered to vote, register to vote, find out where their polling place is located, or download an application for an absentee ballot if they will be out of town or physically unable to be in their polling place on Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014. Polls will be open that day from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. statewide for the general election.
