What you will need to vote:

You will be asked to show ID to vote in Connecticut.

Acceptable forms include:

  • Social Security card
  • Any pre-printed form of ID that shows your name and address, name and signature, or name and photograph

If you’re a first-time voter who registered by mail, you will need to show proof of residence as well.

Acceptable forms include:

  • Current and valid photo ID that shows your name and address
  • Copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or government document that shows your name and address

Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you will be able to sign an affidavit instead, and then vote normally. If you’re a first-time voter without ID, you may vote a provisional ballot.

What is a provisional ballot? A voter whose name doesn’t appear on the voter registration list at a precinct polling place on Election Day—but who believes she or he is, in fact, registered—may be offered a provisional ballot. After being marked, it’s placed in a special secrecy envelope rather than in the ballot box. After the polls close, the registration status of the voter is determined. If the voter was registered in that precinct on Election Day, the ballot is removed from the secrecy envelope and counted just like any other ballot. If the voter wasn’t registered, the ballot remains in the secrecy envelope and is not counted

  1. What are the Stratford number for ELIGIBLE voters & the % of those that are registered. Without a baseline, these numbers have minimal meaning.
