Helpful Hints

For Voting November 6

To the Editor:

Last Presidential Election we saw lines that went on forever on tv. I did not hear of anyone in line more than 15 minutes in Newtown. I would like to offer some helpful hints so we can all get in and out of the polls quickly.

First know which poll is yours: visit ct.gov/sots then click on registered to vote? fill in Newtown, name, and date of birth. You will vote at the state polling place.

Lines — The lines are by street name; make sure you get in the right line.

Carpool if you live at the same house or even the same street; it will be quicker to check off on the list since the list is by street.

Identification — Have your id ready to hand to the checker; you may use a driver’s license, employee ID, signed credit card, preprinted checkbook, a piece of mail etc.

Midday — If you are available around midday, the lines are a little shorter then — take advantage of this lull.

The most important thing is to get out there and vote. Speak up Newtown!

If you have any questions e-mail me at lereine.frampton@newtown-ct.gov.

Thank you,
