Register to Vote in Greenwich in Less Than 2 Minutes!

As another important election season gets closer, there’s one step we don’t want you to miss: registering to vote.

It sounds simple, and it is, but you’d be surprised how many people either forget, assume they’re registered, or don’t realize their information needs updating. The good news is, in Greenwich, the process is quick and easy. This blog walks you through why registering matters, how to get it done, and what deadlines to keep in mind.

Step 1: Check if You’re Already Registered

Before you do anything else, confirm your registration status. Many people move, change their names, or simply forget if they’ve signed up.

👉 Good news: Connecticut makes this easy. You can check your status online in just a couple of minutes.

• Visit the Connecticut Voter Registration Lookup tool.

• Enter your name, date of birth, and town (Greenwich).

• You’ll instantly see if you’re registered and if your information is current.

Tip: Even if you’ve voted before, check again. Outdated addresses or names (if you got married recently!) can cause problems on Election Day.

Step 2: Register to Vote

If you’re not registered yet, you’ve got options:

1. Register Online

   • Use the Connecticut Online Voter Registration System.

   • You’ll need a valid driver’s license or state-issued ID.

   • It only takes a few minutes, and you’ll get a confirmation once it’s processed.

2. Register by Mail

   • Download and print the voter registration form from the state website.

   • Fill it out and mail it to the Greenwich Registrars of Voters.

   • Make sure it’s postmarked by the registration deadline.

3. Register In Person

   • Visit the Greenwich Town Hall (Registrars of Voters Office).

   • Office staff can help you complete your registration on the spot.

Step 3: Know the Deadlines

Deadlines are critical. Miss them, and you may lose your chance to participate in this year’s election.

• Mail-in and online registration deadline: 7 days before Election Day.

• In-person registration deadline: You can register up until the last weekday before Election Day at Town Hall.

• Election Day Registration: If you miss the deadline, Connecticut allows same-day registration at a designated location in town. In Greenwich, that’s usually at Town Hall, but plan ahead, as lines can be long.

Pro tip: Don’t wait until the last minute. Register early so you can focus on learning about the candidates and planning your vote.

Step 4: Keep Your Info Updated

Life happens. You move apartments, change your name, or switch parties. All of that requires updating your registration.

• Moved within Greenwich? Update your address so you’re assigned to the right polling place.

• Changed your name? Update your registration to match your legal ID.

• Want to switch parties? You’ll need to update your registration to participate in a different primary.

It only takes a few minutes online or at Town Hall, but it saves headaches on Election Day.

Step 5: Share the Reminder

If you’ve already registered, fantastic! But don’t stop there, spread the word.

• Remind your friends, family, or coworkers to check their status.

• Post about deadlines on social media.

• Encourage new Greenwich residents, especially young people, to get registered.

Local elections often have the lowest turnout, particularly among voters 18–35. A quick reminder from you could make the difference in whether a friend or neighbor has their voice heard.

Why It’s Worth It

Think about it this way: every time you enjoy Greenwich Point Park, walk downtown, or benefit from a smooth commute, those experiences are linked to decisions made by leaders you elect locally.

Registering is the first step toward shaping:

• Strong schools

• Safe and smooth roads

• Thriving parks and recreation programs

• Smart development and housing decisions

• A resilient, sustainable Greenwich
