connecticut's absentee ballot process: it's simpler than you think

​Thursday, October 1st, 1 pm

During the pandemic, Connecticut has expanded absentee voting for those who prefer not to vote in person at their regular polling place. Join us on Zoom for a brief presentation from the League of Women Voters of New Canaan on how to correctly apply for and fill out an absentee ballot. NC League President Micaela Porta and CT League Voter Services Chair Laura Smits will be on hand to walk us through step by step and answer questions.
Thursday, October 1 at 1 p.m.

Explanation of the different parts of the General Election Ballot and instructions for how to fill it out – and mail it back!
The League of Women Voters is an independent non-partisan organization working on vital issues of concern to the public. The League does not support or oppose candidates or political parties at any level of government. Their goal is to help citizens successfully navigate our country’s electoral and political process.
