Do I live in the 2nd Senate District?

The 2nd Senate District includes most of Windsor and Bloomfield and the northern half of Hartford. Click the button below to confirm that you are able to vote for Ayana in the primary.

Can I vote in the primary?

You must be a registered Democrat to vote for Ayana in the primary. To double-check your party registration, click the button below.

If you are registered as an Unaffiliated voter, there is still time to change your party registration to Democrat to vote for Ayana. If you are registered as a Republican (or with another political party such as the Independent Party), the deadline has passed to change your party affiliation. 

You can change your party affiliation to Democrat in three ways: in person, online, or by mail.

Note that you are not a voter until your application is approved by the Registrar of Voters. It’s a good idea to confirm with your Registrar by phone or by using the voter registration look-up tool before voting. 

**If you plan to change from unaffiliated to Democrat in order to vote early, you must change your registration by August 2 at Noon.

Can I vote by absentee ballot?

Connecticut law allows you to receive an absentee ballot if you cannot appear at your assigned polling place on Election Day because of active service in the military, absence from the town in which you are eligible to vote, sickness, religious tenets that forbid secular activity on the day of the election, duties as an election official at a polling place other than your own during all of the hours of voting, or physical disability.

Starting July 23, you can click here to request an absentee ballot.

You can also download and print your absentee ballot application here and mail it into your town’s Register of Voters. 

Absentee Ballots must be returned by 8 pm on August 13th to be counted. You can mail them in (the suggested deadline for returning by mail is August 6th, due to delays in mail delivery) or place them in the secure drop boxes located outside of your town’s city hall.

If you plan to vote in person on August 13th 

You can register to vote in three ways: in person, online, or by mail. 

  • In-person: August 12th at noon is the deadline for registering to vote in person with the registrar of voters in your town.

  • By mail: August 7th is the deadline for your voter registration form to be postmarked; it must be received by the registrar’s office by August 12th. 

Note that you are not a voter until your application is approved by the Registrar of Voters. It’s a good idea to confirm with your Registrar by phone or using the voter registration look-up above before voting. 


If you plan to vote by Absentee Ballot

The deadlines above apply, but if you are registering online or by mail, you must be sure to leave extra time for the Registrar of Voters to process your voter registration, receive your absentee ballot application, and issue your absentee ballot. All absentee ballots must be received by 8 pm on August 13th. In addition, if you are registering to vote for the first time by mail or online, federal law requires you to submit a copy of your photo ID with your absentee ballot application. 

Note: same-day registration is not available for Primary elections.
