Election Day Today: Polls Open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Today is Election Day in Brookfield. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Anyone standing in line at 8 p.m. can still vote.

The town's absentee ballot page lists Brookfield's polling places as Brookfield High School, the Brookfield Municipal Center, Whisconier Middle School, and Huckleberry Hill School. Your assigned site depends on your address, so check the state's voter lookup at MyVote.CT.gov before heading out rather than guessing from the list.

Absentee ballots must be returned to the Town Clerk's office by 8 p.m. today to count. If you still need an absentee ballot, you can apply in person up until 10 a.m. today. There is no voting at the Town Clerk's office on Election Day itself.

On the ballot are statewide offices, including governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of the state, treasurer, comptroller, and attorney general, along with the U.S. House seat for the 5th District and state legislative races. Brookfield's split Senate districts shape the local ballot: Districts 1 and 2 vote in Senate District 30, and District 3 votes in Senate District 32. Sample ballots are available through the Secretary of the State's office.

If you already voted early or returned an absentee ballot, you do not vote again today. Early voting in Brookfield ran October 19 through November 1 at Town Hall, Meeting Room 133, and that window has closed.

If you have not voted yet, today is the day: 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., at your assigned polling place. Check MyVote.CT.gov for your assigned site and a sample ballot before you leave, and give yourself a little extra time in the morning and evening, when lines tend to be longest.
