If you have not registered, you still can register and vote on Tuesday

Election Day Registration

The pre-election voter registration cutoff deadline is seven (7) days before Election Day. So, you must have registered as of last Tuesday to be eligible to vote at your polling place.

But Connecticut also has same day registration on Election Day itself for voters who need it.

Election Day Registration permits anyone to register and vote in person on Election Day:

  • who meets the eligibility requirements for voting in this state and is not already registered.
    By law, a person is eligible to register and vote if he or she is (1) a U.S. citizen, (2) age 18 or older, (3) a bona fide resident of the town in which he or she applies for admission, and (4) has completed confinement if previously convicted of a disfranchising felony.
  • or is registered in one town but has moved to another town.

Election Day Registration is not available at your polling place but is available at a designated EDR location in each town, beginning at 6 a.m. and ending at 8 p.m. The EDR location in Bristol this year is City Hall WEST, 131 North Main Street, 2nd Floor.

Please plan to arrive early in the day as there may be long lines. If you are in line at the Election Day Registration site at 8 p.m., you can remain in line to complete your registration and vote. You will need to provide proof of identity and residency. 

All TBE readers, supporters and donors        

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.        

  • Non-members will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.        
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.        
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.        

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
