Voter Registration Requirements
Any citizen 18 years of age may register to vote and enroll in a party at the Registrars of Voters Office in Town Hall. All voters must be 18 years of age on election day in order to vote. West Hartford residents should visit the Registrars of Voters Office in Room 209 in Town Hall to register to vote, call to request a mail-in application or download and print a Voter Registration Application (English / Español) form. Voters turning age 18 by election day may also vote in a primary for that election.
In the State of Connecticut, if you are registered as Unaffiliated, you cannot vote in a party primary election. In order to vote, you must be registered in the party that is holding the primary.

Canvass
Each March, Connecticut State Law requires each town to conduct a canvass of its voters. The Registrars need to know if you have moved out of town, within the Town of West Hartford, or have changed your name. Where you live determines your polling place and your state legislative district. The identification you present on Election Day must agree with the address in your town's voter registration system. You can assist us in this endeavor by checking your card carefully for errors or changes and by making any necessary alterations on the card. If no changes are required, check the top box. Please sign the card and return it to us, even if there is no change to your information--no postage is necessary. With your help, our canvass will be successful and we thank you for your assistance.
