Eligibility requires Connecticut residency, U.S. Citizenship, and age 18 or older, though 17-year-olds may pre-register. Municipal elections happen in odd-numbered years; the next contest for Mayor, Board of Aldermen, and Board of Education arrives in November 2025. The borough operates under a Mayor-Board of Aldermen system, with current officials' terms and candidate information available through the Town Clerk. Residents vote at assigned polling places based on their district; the lookup tool is accessible at https://portaldir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx by entering name and date of birth. During the November 2024 presidential election, New Haven County saw approximately 64% voter turnout with over 340,000 votes cast countywide, with local turnout following similar patterns. Connecticut election records including voter registration lists (available for political purposes), campaign finance reports, and certified results are public. Campaign finance disclosure goes through the Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission at https://seec.ct.gov/Portal/eCRIS/eCrisSearch, while local candidate filings are available through the Town Clerk. The November 3, 2026 general election will feature critical races for residents: the U.S. Senate Class III seat currently held by Richard Blumenthal won't be on the ballot (that election is in 2028), but Connecticut's gubernatorial race will be held as Governor Ned Lamont's current term ends in 2027, with gubernatorial elections occurring in midterm years. Voters will elect all five U.S. House representatives, state senators from even-numbered districts, all 151 state representatives, and various local offices including the borough's mayor and Board of Aldermen positions if following the odd-year schedule. Absentee voting is available for specific reasons including active military service, illness, disability, religious beliefs, election day work responsibilities, and absence from town; applications are at https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services/Voter-Information/Absentee-Voting or through the Town Clerk's office. Early voting was expanded statewide and is now available for general elections, with the borough designating early voting locations announced prior to each election. Absentee ballot applications must reach the Town Clerk by the day before the election, though earlier submission is strongly recommended.
