Following new Connecticut state law early voting in Connecticut will be provided beginning with the April 2nd, 2024 presidential primaries. In a memo to the New Britain Common Council for its February 14, 2024 meeting, Peter Gostlin and Lucian Pawlak the Republican and Democratic registrars of voters recommended that The New Britain Senior Center on 55 Pearl Street would be chosen as the only early voting location. The memo cites the reasons for choosing this location are that it is: well known, centrally located, already a voting poll, and has good internet connectivity. The reasons for providing only one early voting location, according to the memo, are that early voting is new, turnout rate is unknown, and cost could be kept down. Finally, the memo notes that since New Britain population is larger than 20,000, it could provide more than one early voting polling location. According to state law early voting elections need to be provided as following: presidential preference primary – 4 days, State and federal primary – 7 days, and general elections – 14 days.
