More Than 624,000​ Ballots Already Cast In CT: See Latest Data

CONNECTICUT — More than 624,000 Connecticut voters have already cast their ballots in Tuesday’s 2024 presidential election, joining nearly 76.5 million Americans who have cast mail-in or early in-person votes.

According to a Monday analysis by NBC News of data from election officials across the country, 42 percent of early votes in Connecticut were cast by Democrats, 23 percent were by Republicans and 35 percent were by people who haven’t declared a party.

Not all Connecticut residents who requested an early-vote ballot had returned them by Monday. The returned ballots represent 47 percent of those requested by Democrats, 19 percent by Republicans and 34 percent by no-party voters.

Polls in Connecticut are open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. You can use the Secretary of the State's website to find your polling place.

Voters who are in line by 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.

Connecticut also allows for Election Day registration at designated centers in each town. People must be registered by 8 p.m. in order to vote using Election Day registration.

The campaigns of both former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, and his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris have pushed early voting to bank votes ahead of Election Day. Of early votes cast nationally, 41 percent have been cast by Democrats, 39 percent by Republicans and 20 percent by no-party voters.

Besides the all-important presidential race, Connecticut voters will cast ballots for the state’s five congressional districts.

Sen. Chris Murphy is running for a third term in the upper chamber, where he has represented Connecticut since 2013. The seat has been blue since 1989.

Three other candidates are angling to change that. Murphy is being challenged by Republican Matthew Corey, Green candidate Justin C. Paglino, and Cheaper Gas Groceries Party candidate Robert Finley Hyde.

Also on the ballot, residents will be asked to vote on a referendum question, "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to allow each voter to vote by absentee ballot?"
