With election day approaching, it’s important to gather all the facts before you get to the polls. The first step is to understand who the candidates are, what they stand for, and who will make the right kind of change in our community. This requires knowing the candidates beforehand and understanding how they could impact our community if elected.
To start, if you would like to preview the full ballot, you can do so online at CT.gov before every election! This will give you an idea of exactly what to expect when you head to the polls. To make it easy, MVP has put together a comprehensive list of everyone on the ballot. Check it out!
While looking through the candidates for each role, check back to our last Voter Toolkit article to brush up on the roles and responsibilities of each elected office.
But, how else can you research the candidates? Check out local publications, social media, party websites (Greenwich Republicans & Greenwich Democrats), and individual candidate websites to hear directly from them and community members. With so much access to information online, you can learn alot about each candidate on the ballot before election day comes around.
