Madison Election Results 2022: Vote Totals, Parker, Cohen Reelected

MADISON, CT —Incumbent state Sen. Christine Cohen, (D) announced her opponent Paul Crisci (R) conceded and she will remain the 12th district's senator. Madison's voters chose incumbent 101st District Rep. John-Michael Parker (D). And all ballot questions got voters thumbs-up.

"Although numbers are still coming in, my opponent has conceded and we can confidently say that I will continue representing all of you in Hartford for another term! This job has been the honor of a lifetime and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have the opportunity to bring your voices to the senate chamber again," she posted on Facebook at 10:15.

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the many volunteers and supporters who helped make this possible, we couldn’t have done it without you," she wrote.

Parker bested Republican John A. Rasimas according to the unofficial town election results provided by Madison registrars.

And voters passed two charter revision questions and the state question on early voting.

Ballot Questions

1. Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to provide for early voting?
2. Shall the proposed Charter Amendment to Section 4.1 of the Town's Charter changing the term of the First Selectman and all other members of the Board of Selectmen to four (4) years, as set forth in the Charter Revision Commission's Final Report and accepted by the Board of Selectmen, be adopted?
3. Shall the remaining proposed Charter Amendments contained in the Charter Revision Commission's Final Report, which Report was accepted by the Board of Selectmen on July 28, 2022, be adopted?

Absentee voting

Connecticut reverted to its relatively strict absentee ballot regulations. Officials made an exception during the last federal election due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A voter needs to meet specific criteria. Voters can apply online or turn in a request to the town clerk office. There is a separate process for an emergency ballot within six days of an election.

Many campaigns and organizations are sending out Applications for Absentee Ballot so you may receive duplicate applications. If you have completed one application, please disregard the others.

The drop box located outside of town hall is open to receive applications and ballots. Absentee ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Additionally, you are not required to vote by Absentee Ballot and can choose to vote at the polls. Polls will be open on Election Day, November 8th, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Voting on Election Day

Polls in Connecticut are open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. You can use the Secretary of 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.
