Greenwich residents can start casting ballots for the Nov. 3 general election on Monday, Oct. 19, at Town Hall.

Early voting runs 14 consecutive days through Sunday, Nov. 1, at one location: Greenwich Town Hall, 101 Field Point Road. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. most days, with extended hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and Thursday, Oct. 29, according to the town's voting website. The town asks early voters to use the visitor parking lot on the left side of the building.

Town Hall is the only early voting location in Greenwich, regardless of a voter's regular district.

On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, polls open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 12 polling places across town. Voters who are in line by 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.

What's on the ballot

Greenwich voters will choose candidates in several contested races, according to Patch's voter guide:

Governor and lieutenant governor: Gov. Ned Lamont and Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz (Democratic and Working Families parties) face state Sen. Ryan Fazio and Matt Corey (Republican and Independent parties). Lamont, 72, is seeking a third term. Fazio, a Greenwich Republican first elected to the state Senate in a 2021 special election, is challenging him.

U.S. House, 4th District: Rep. Jim Himes (Democratic) faces Republican Michael Ted Goldstein and Independent Benjamin Wesley.

State Senate, 36th District: Democrat Jill Oberlander faces Republican Joe Kelly, who also has the Independent Party line.

State representative: Three Greenwich House districts are on the ballot. In the 149th, Democrat Amiel Goldberg faces Republican Tina Courpas. In the 150th, Democrat Steve Meskers faces Republican Jonathan Charles Goldstein. In the 151st, Democrat Hector Arzeno faces Republican Michael S. Mason. Arzeno also carries the Independent Party line.

Statewide races for secretary of the state, treasurer, comptroller and attorney general also appear on the ballot, along with probate judge and registrar of voters.

Registration and same-day options

The regular voter registration deadline was Friday, Oct. 16. But missing that deadline does not mean missing the election. Connecticut allows same-day registration during early voting and on Election Day, according to the town's voter registration page.

Unregistered residents can register and vote in person at Town Hall on any early voting day. On Election Day, same-day registration takes place at Town Hall's lower level. Residents using same-day registration must bring proof of identity and address, as CT Insider reported. Election officials recommend arriving early because registering and voting takes longer than casting a ballot alone.

Absentee ballots

Connecticut voters can request absentee ballots without providing a reason, a change that followed the state's 2024 constitutional amendment. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is Monday, Nov. 2. Completed ballots must reach the town clerk by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. For questions about absentee ballots, the Town Clerk's office can be reached at 203-622-7897.

"There are some changes in voting rules this year, and voters understandably have questions," Mary Browne, president of the League of Women Voters of Greenwich, said Sept. 13 when the group launched its voter education campaign, as Greenwich Free Press reported. The League's online Election Information Center offers polling locations, key dates and registration resources.

Voters can confirm their registration, polling place and absentee ballot status through the town's online voter lookup tool.
