Trumbull Residents Voice Opinions On 7 Voting Districts

TRUMBULL, CT — Trumbull residents voiced their opinions about potentially returning to seven voting districts.

Trumbull Citizens for 7 Districts member Regina Haley said that voter turnout began to decline when the town switched to four districts in 2012, according to the Trumbull Times. Before the change Trumbull had been above the state turnout average.

She also shared some comments the group had gathered, which included complaints about increased driving distance to polling locations and longer voting lines.

First Selectman Vicki Tesoro has already come out in support of going back to seven districts even though it would reduce majority party power, which currently belongs to Democrats.
