2021 Southington Election: The Results Are In

SOUTHINGTON, CT — The results are in for the 2021 municipal election in Southington.

Official results were not posted until Wednesday afternoon by the office of Secretary of the State Denise Merrill. A problem with a third-party vendor which manages election information for the secretary's website has prevented results from being displayed.

At the top of the ballot, voters were asked to choose yes or no on funding for a new library. The yes votes prevailed 6,896 to 4,922.

Here is the wording:

"Shall the Town of Southington appropriate $16,900,000 for construction of a new library facility at 255 Main Street, demolition of the existing facility, and related site improvements; and authorizing the issue of $16,900,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation?"
