For First Time, Middletown Voters can Register on Election Day

Don't let a failure to complete your Connecticut voter registration application keep you from the polls today. Visit the registrar's office before 4:30 p.m. and then cast your vote.

For the first time, any U.S. citizen residing in the state who is age 18 or older and hasn't registered to vote yet can do so on Election Day.

In Connecticut, registration takes effect for the first time for the municipal elections on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
