The deadline for new or unaffiliated voters to register in person with the local registrar of voters or town clerk of the town of residence is noon on Aug. 8. The deadline for new or unaffiliated voters to register for the primary by mail or online is Aug. 4.
The mail-in application of new or unaffiliated voters must be received by the town registrar—or a voter registration agency or the Department of Motor Vehicles—by Aug. 4.
“Local elections are arguably when the voters have the greatest impact. If there is a primary in your town, please don’t miss the opportunity to choose who will represent your party on the ballot in November," Merrill said.
Polls will be open on Aug. 9 for registered Democrats and Republicans from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters can visit this link to learn how to register, check their registration, find their polling locations and download absentee ballot applications.
