Connecticut voters have now cast 314,207 ballots through all methods as of Oct. 27, according to the Secretary of the State's latest daily early-voting release. Of those, 272,806 came through in-person early voting, including 41,141 cast on Oct. 27 alone. Absentee ballots account for the rest: 68,417 issued and 41,401 returned.

By party registration, Democrats account for 138,294 of the early votes cast so far, Republicans 50,490, unaffiliated voters 80,487, and voters registered with other parties 3,535\. Among returned absentee ballots, the split is 21,386 Democrats, 7,583 Republicans, 11,880 unaffiliated, and 552 other. Another 2,666 early voters registered the same day they voted. Party registration describes who has voted, not how anyone voted — ballots are secret.

The figures are preliminary. Towns report on different schedules and the Secretary of the State revises the totals, so the latest release's cumulative column is the number to trust rather than any sum of daily figures. The release lists only the ten towns with the most early votes — West Hartford leads with 6,073 — and Brookfield is not among them, so no Brookfield-specific total is available from this release.

For Brookfield voters, the calendar matters more than the statewide total. Today, Thursday, Oct. 29, is an extended-hours early-voting day: the Town Hall Meeting Room 133, 100 Pocono Road, is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Early voting continues Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 1, is the last day of early voting, also 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, with polls open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
