Tolland voters receive local election services from the Tolland Town Clerk's Office, located at 21 Tolland Green, Tolland, CT 06084 (phone: 860-871-3601, website: www.tolland.org). The Connecticut Secretary of the State Elections Division oversees statewide administration and maintains the centralized voter registration system (website: https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services/Election-Services). Connecticut residents can register online at https://voterregistration.ct.gov, with registration deadlines typically closing seven days before an election, though Election Day registration is available at designated locations with proof of residency. Acceptable identification for registration includes a Connecticut driver's license or DMV-issued ID card. The town conducts municipal elections in odd-numbered years, with the next local election for Board of Selectmen, Board of Education, and other positions scheduled for November 2025. Voters can look up their assigned polling location at https://portaldir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx or by calling the Town Clerk's office; polling places include Tolland High School and Tolland Middle School depending on district. Under Connecticut General Statutes Title 9, several election records are public, including voter registration lists (available for lawful purposes), campaign finance reports filed with the State Elections Enforcement Commission (searchable at https://seec.ct.gov), candidate filings and petitions, and precinct-level results published by the Secretary of State. In the November 2024 presidential election, the county reported approximately 62% voter turnout with over 92,000 ballots cast from 148,000 registered voters. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, local voters will decide races including Connecticut's gubernatorial election (Governor Ned Lamont's current term expires in 2027, so 2026 will feature a gubernatorial race), all five U.S. House seats representing Connecticut districts (Tolland is in the 2nd Congressional District), all Connecticut General Assembly seats (State Senate and State House of Representatives), and various county and local offices. Connecticut does not have U.S. Senate seats up in 2026 (the next Connecticut Senate race is in 2028). The state offers absentee voting for qualified reasons including active military service, illness, physical disability, religious beliefs, election day duties, or absence from town during all voting hours; applications are available at https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services/V5/Absentee-Voting and must be submitted to the Town Clerk. Connecticut also offers early voting for certain elections as authorized by recent legislation. Residents can access sample ballots, candidate information, and local ballot questions through the town website and the League of Women Voters of Connecticut (www.lwvct.org).
