The next Salisbury town elections will occur in May 2025 and May 2027. Residents vote at the Salisbury Town Hall polling location at 27 Main Street; voters can confirm their polling place and registration status online at https://portaldir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx by entering their name and birth date. Public election records in Connecticut include voter registration lists (available for purchase by political parties and candidates), campaign finance reports filed with the State Elections Enforcement Commission at https://seec.ct.gov/, candidate filings and ballot information from the Secretary of State at https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services/Election-Services/Election-Services---Home-Page, and election results by municipality and precinct. In the November 2024 presidential election, Litchfield County saw approximately 66% voter turnout with about 125,000 ballots cast from 189,000 registered voters, reflecting the state's relatively high civic engagement. For the November 3, 2026 general election, local voters will decide several key races: Connecticut does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026 (the next Senate race is 2028), but the state will hold gubernatorial elections as Governor Ned Lamont's term ends in January 2027 (if he does not seek re-election or is opposed); all five U.S. House seats will be on the ballot including Connecticut's 5th Congressional District which includes Salisbury; all 187 seats in the Connecticut General Assembly (36 State Senate seats and 151 State House seats) will be contested, including the 30th Senate District and 64th House District that represent Salisbury; countywide offices are not elected in Connecticut as Litchfield County government structure has been largely abolished; and various local positions in Salisbury if the town schedules any special elections or referendums for November rather than the typical May cycle. Connecticut allows absentee voting for specific reasons including active military service, religious beliefs prohibiting secular activity on Election Day, election day duties as an election official, illness, physical disability, and absence from town during all voting hours. Absentee ballot applications are available from the Salisbury Town Clerk beginning 60 days before an election and must be received by the clerk by noon the day before the election; voted ballots must be received by the close of polls on Election Day. Early voting was expanded in Connecticut following a 2022 constitutional amendment; early voting is now available for the two weeks before an election at designated locations announced by the Secretary of State and local registrars. The Connecticut Secretary of State elections division maintains voter information at https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services including candidate lists, polling place information, results archives, and voter guides specific to each election cycle.
