On Election Day, Do The Write Thing

From Connecticut Secretary of the State Denise Merrill:

Secretary of the State Denise Merrill released the full list of write-in candidates today. The list reveals there are 20 candidates each for president and vice-president, two for U.S. Senate, 10 for U.S. Representative as well as a number of people vying for state offices.

Write-in candidates must register with the Secretary of the State in order to have their votes counted on November 8. The deadline to register their candidacies–or provide consent if they were put forward by someone else–was October 25. Write-in candidates do not appear on the ballot but voting machines are programmed to accept votes for write-ins if they are registered with the Secretary of the State.

Secretary Merrill said, “Democracy is about choices. We want to make sure everyone is aware of the options available to them on Election Day. The most important thing is that no matter which party or candidate you support, show up to vote on November 8.”

On Election Day, November 8, 2016, polls will be open from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. for registered voters in Connecticut. Election Day registration is in effect, however, long lines are likely so voters are encouraged to arrive early. It is also important to note that Election Day registration is not available at polling places, but rather at a designated Election Day registration location in each town beginning at 6 a.m. People utilizing this option will need to provide proof of identity and residency.

Voters can check their registration status online and find the location of their polling place by visiting myvote.ct.gov.
