Wallingford: Here's What Will Be on Your Ballot on Election Day

Wallingford voters will head to the polls this Tuesday, Nov. 4 for the 2014 midterm election.

On the ballot, registered voters in Wallingford will be able to select candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, a representative to U.S. Congress, state senator, state representative, secretary of state, treasurer, comptroller, attorney general, judge of probate and registrar of voters.

There is no election for the U.S. Senate this year in Connecticut.

Voting

If you’re not registered to vote, the regular deadline has passed — however, Connecticut does allow Election Day registration for general elections like this one. Contact the Registrars for details about that. You can call the office at (203) 294-2125.

Polling places in Wallingford will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Ballot question: Voters will also be asked, “Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to remove restrictions concerning absentee ballots and to permit a person to vote without appearing at a polling place on the day of an election?”. The Connecticut League of Women Voters has a “primer” on the ballot question with links to articles from the organization’s Home page. The Hartford Courant also has a “primer,” which is this article about the ballot question.

The Town of Wallingford website is also explanatory text of the ballot question here.
