Registrars of Voters

The Registrars of Voters are responsible for registering residents who wish to vote.  The Registrars supervise the running of elections and referendums in the Town.  We are responsible for maintaining voter registration records in the State Voter Registration System. We work closely with the Town Clerk to ensure voters, who are unable to vote on election day, can do so through an absentee ballot.  We register students at Nonnewaug High School.

You will complete your ballot at a privacy booth and seal it in the approved envelope. Before you leave, place the sealed envelope in the secure receptacle as instructed by the election officials.
