There is no voting today in Brookfield. Early voting ran October 19 through November 1 at Town Hall, and that window has closed. What is still open today is the absentee ballot route, and its deadlines land today and tomorrow.

Applications for an absentee ballot must reach the Town Clerk by today, Monday, November 2, if the ballot is to be mailed to you. You can also apply in person, up until 10 a.m. on Tuesday, November 3\. Completed absentee ballots must be returned to the Town Clerk's office by 8 p.m. on Tuesday to count. There is no voting at the Town Clerk's office on Election Day itself.

On Tuesday, 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 you head out rather than guessing from the list.

Brookfield voters will decide 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.

The campaigns spent Sunday making their final case. Governor Ned Lamont and Republican challenger Ryan Fazio both campaigned in Enfield on Sunday, while U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes and Republican challenger Chris Shea campaigned in Meriden and Middlebury, all of it aimed at the voters who have not yet cast a ballot. In a midterm year, that last group is often the one that decides how close the results look on Tuesday night.

If you already voted early or returned an absentee ballot, you do not vote again on Tuesday. If you have not, Tuesday is the day: 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., at your assigned polling place.
