More than 56,000 people voted on Monday, or about 2.5 percent of eligible voters in the state, and turnout remained strong again on Tuesday, according to multiple reports across Connecticut.
“After all the hard work put in by our election workers to prepare for yesterday and the next 13 days, I am glad to see voters taking advantage of this convenient form of in-person voting,” said Secretary Stephanie Thomas. “It provides voters more opportunities to cast their ballot, which is helpful for those with challenging schedules or when any last-minute issues make getting to the polls on Election Day impossible.”
This is the first time early voting has been allowed in a general election. Voters approved the measure last year, making Connecticut the 47th state to allow people to cast a ballot before Election Day.
Early voting will continue through Sunday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day outside of Tuesday, Oct. 29, and Thursday, Oct. 31, when polls will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
