Calling all Registered Democrats. We have a Democratic primary for Governor on August 11th. Our governor Ned Lamont is facing a challenger who lacks the expertise to run the state of CT. Lamont has done a superb job paying down our unpaid pension liabilities, increasing school spending and focusing on affordability issues that have plagued our state. Under Lamont, we’ve had eight straight balanced budgets. CT has been one of the most prudently managed states since his election in 2018.
Most Democrats will not vote in this primary. Voter turnout is essential. Please vote on August 11th for Ned Lamont!
There are three ways to vote in the August 11 Democratic Primary: you must be a registered Democrat.
In person on August 11 from 6:00 AM – 8:00 PM at your regular polling place
Except note that for the August 11 Primary only, the polling place for District 6 will be the Eastern Greenwich Civic Center and the polling place for District 7 and District 8 will be North Street School.
Early Voting at Greenwich Town Hall Monday, August 3 – Sunday August 10 from 10:00AM-6:00 PM with extended hours on Tuesday and Thursday 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
