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

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

On the ballot, registered voters in Windsor 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 860-285-1958 (Democrat) or 860-285-1957 (Republican).

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

Windsor has seven voting districts for elections. Here’s where to find out which district you’re in. (This article also has a polling place location finder at the bottom.)

Here’s what each Windsor voting district’s ballot will look like.

No local races are contested, and there are only two of them.

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 Windsor website also has explanatory text of the ballot question here.
