Next Door in New Milford: Same-Day Registration Runs at Town Hall Today

Brookfield is not the only town voting today. In New Milford, polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and voters cast ballots at their assigned neighborhood polling places.

One detail matters for anyone in New Milford who still needs to register. Same-day registration takes place at Town Hall's lower level, at 10 Main Street, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. — not at the neighborhood precinct polling stations. Eligible residents who are not yet registered, or who moved to New Milford from another town, can register and vote in person there today.

Absentee ballots in New Milford must reach the Town Clerk by 8 p.m. today to count. As in Brookfield, anyone standing in line at 8 p.m. can still vote.

New Milford's early voting ran October 19 through November 1 at the John Pettibone Community Center, 2 Pickett District Road. That window has closed, so today the choice is the assigned polling place — or Town Hall's lower level for same-day registration.

If you already voted early at the Pettibone center or returned an absentee ballot, you do not vote again today. The same-day registration option exists for eligible residents who missed the October 16 online and mail registration deadline, or who moved to New Milford from another town and need to re-register. Registration and voting both happen at Town Hall's lower level today, between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., and anyone in line at 8 p.m. can still complete the process.
