Whether you need to verify a family member's birth information or obtain a certified copy of a marriage certificate, the Town Clerk's Office in Killingworth is the go-to resource for all vital records inquiries.

Registration deadlines are 7 days before an election for in-person registration at the town clerk's office or DMV, or 14 days before for online or mail registration. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, Connecticut residents, and at least 18 years old by election day - though 17-year-olds may vote in primaries if they'll turn 18 by the general election. The town operates under a Board of Selectmen and town meeting form of government. Town elections for local offices including Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, Board of Education, and other boards and commissions are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in odd-numbered years. The next municipal election will be held November 4, 2025. Polling place assignments can be found through the Secretary of State's polling place lookup at portaldir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx or by contacting the Town Clerk. The community typically has one polling location at Killingworth Elementary School, 151 Cider Mill Road. In the November 2024 presidential election, Middlesex County reported approximately 67% voter turnout, with Connecticut overall showing strong participation. On November 3, 2026, voters here will decide several important races: Connecticut's gubernatorial election (Governor and Lieutenant Governor serve four-year terms; next election 2026), all five U.S. House of Representatives seats representing Connecticut districts, all 151 Connecticut House of Representatives seats, approximately half of the 36 Connecticut State Senate seats, and various local positions. Connecticut does not have U.S. Senate races in 2026 - the next Senate elections are 2024 and 2028.
