Voter Eligibility

It doesn't look like you're eligible to vote in the upcoming election. That doesn't mean that you can't play a role though. If you support a candidate, you can volunteer or talk with other people who are eligible to vote.

You need one of the following forms of photo ID to vote in 2012

The State of Connecticut has ID requirements which apply in all elections. Certain voters may be required to fulfill a federal (HAVA) ID requirement in state/federal elections. These persons will have an asterisk (*) next to their name on the voter list. This is a one-time requirement, and may be fulfilled upon registering to vote, or the first time the person votes at the polls.

Connecticut ID Requirement

Any acceptable HAVA ID satisfies all Connecticut requirements. A current, valid driver’s license or passport makes the best ID. In Connecticut any of the following items also meet the requirements: a Social security card, a pre-printed form if ID showing name and address of the voter, or name and signature of the voter, or name and photograph of the voter.

A Voter, who has shown acceptable identification when registering, or in a previous election, is not required to show identification again. However, if he does not do so, he must step out of line so that he can fill out and sign a Form ED-681 entitled “Signatures of Electors Who Did No Present ID (Form 3) swearing or affirming that the elector whose name appears on the official check list is the elector signing the form.
