Early Voting polling locations for the upcoming Presidential Preference Primaries are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on March 26, 27, 28 and 30. Polls will be closed March 29 in observance of Good Friday. 

Early voting takes place in person, but not at your typical polling location. 

Who can vote in the Presidential Primary?

Because Connecticut is a closed primary state, only voters registered with a party are eligible to vote in that party's primary. You can enroll up until April 1 at noon if you are:

• An unaffiliated voter, or
• Registering to vote for the first time (including those who are 17 years of age who will be 18 by November 5, 2024)

Note: The deadline to switch parties and vote in the Presidential Primary was January 2nd.

Don’t wait until the last minute! Are you unsure whether or not you're affiliated with a party?

Use the Voter Registration Lookup Tool to 1) check your voter registration and 2) find your April 2nd polling location:
