SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — Absentee ballot applications are being mailed to all registered, active Democratic and Republican voters by the Secretary of the State's Office for the upcoming primaries on Aug. 11.

Pursuant to Gov.

For purposes of this modification, a person shall be permitted to lawfully state he or she is unable to appear at a polling place because of COVID-19 if, at the time he or she applies for or casts an absentee ballot for the August 11, 2020 primary election, there is no federally approved and widely available vaccine for prevention of COVID-19."

Completed applications should be returned using the postage-paid envelope provided. Absentee ballots for the primaries will be mailed to voters beginning July 21.
