Connecticut has finally launched an early, in-person voting system years after almost every other state in the country decided to offer a similar option to voters.
A sign reminding voters they can cast their votes early in the April 2 presidential primary in Connecticut was placed outside the Stonington Town Hall in Stonington, Conn., on Wednesday, March 27, 2024. The four-day early voting period marks the first time voters can cast their votes early and in-person in Connecticut.
Now only four states — Alabama, Delaware, Mississippi and New Hampshire — do not allow early, in-person voting, although they may offer options for eligible absentee voters. Delaware previously allowed early voting, but aMarya Ursin finally got the chance to vote early in Connecticut and at a time that suited her busy schedule. It was a welcome change from her traditional early-morning rush to the polls before work each Election Day.
There was resistance to change in the state known as the “Land of Steady Habits," especially from Republicans who voiced concerns about removing what they consider voting safeguards and whether local voting officials had enough funding and staffing to provide early voting. Peggy Roberts, the Republican registrar of voters in Stonington, said the early voting launch was “slow but steady," with 61 people casting early votes the first day. The voters, she said, have tended to be older.
