Municipal Election Information from the Registrar of Voters

EASTFORD — The Municipal Election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025.

Early voting for the Municipal Election starts Monday, Oct. 20 and ends Sunday, Nov. 2. Hours for early voting, most days, will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Oct. 28 and Oct. 30, early voting will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Remember that ballots cast during early voting will be opened and counted on Election Day.

Voter Registration: Deadline to register is Oct. 17. Election Day registration is Nov. 4.

Absentee Ballots: Currently, no excuse absentee balloting is not law, despite the vote last November. Therefore, if you request an absentee ballot, you must have one of the currently allowed excuses — military service, being out of town on Election Day (at college, etc.), illness, religious reasons, disability, or service as an election official or worker.

Absentee ballots need to be received before the close of Election Day. Make sure to plan ahead if you are mailing in your absentee ballot due to potential lags in the United States Postal Service.

New Voting Machines: The state has instituted new voting machines. These should not be difficult for people to use, and you will still have the same kind of ballots that were used in the past. If you are concerned about the new machines, come early to vote or stop by during the Registrar’s office hours, which are on the second and fourth day of the month. Voting officials and your registrars will be happy to walk you through the process.
