In anticipation of big crowds on Election Day, Tuesday Nov. 8, Branford Registrars of Voters want to remind residents not only of the town's seven district polling locations but also give a heads-up on parking availability and voter entrances at each building.

Voters who are already registered must vote at their designated polling location. Residents seeking to register and vote on Election Day must go to Branford Town Hall, lower level, to complete the registration process and vote. All polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Registrars also remind all voters they must bring one of the following forms of identification (I.D.): a current driver’s license; or a copy of a current and valid photo I.D.; or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, lease, government check or paycheck showing the voter’s name and Branford address.

Each voter’s polling place is determined by their Branford address. Branford’s seven-district boundary map, and more information on Branford voting places and voting procedures are online at the Branford Registrar’s of Voters page at www.branford-ct.gov
