New Haven 2019 Local Elections: Candidates, Polling Places, Hours

NEW HAVEN, CT — Voters will head to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 5 to vote in New Haven’s municipal election. The position of first selectman, spots on the boards of education and selectmen are all up for grabs.

Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters who are in line before 8 p.m. will be able to vote even after the deadline passes.

In the mayoral election, Democrat Justin M. Elicker will face Working Families Party candidate Toni N. Harp. Michael B. Smart is running unopposed for city clerk.

For a full ballot go to the Secretary of State's website.

Connecticut offers Election Day registration, but those who arrive need to be registered by 8 p.m. in order to vote. Unlike previously registered voters standing in line before 8 p.m. to register won't guarantee the ability to vote.

Absentee ballots are also available for those who won't be in town all of election day or for a multitude of other reasons. Voters can also register online prior to the election.
