Connecticut’s primaries are just days away, but some voters still haven’t received their absentee ballots.Some 20,000 ballots weren’t sent out on time, forcing town clerks to scramble.People can also vote in person if they don’t get their ballots, but again no one is sure how the pandemic will impact in person turnout.
Voters who applied for an absentee ballot but have not yet received it by mail should request a new absentee ballot from their town clerk. The original ballot will be invalidated. Those who received their absentee ballot should return the completed ballot by mail or the local ballot boxes as soon as possible.
By state law, absentee ballots that arrive by mail after 8 p.m. on Aug. 11 cannot be counted, so officials encouraged residents to use their municipality’s absentee ballot drop box before that time.
