ELLINGTON-SOMERS, CT — The most unusual circumstances under which presidential and congressional primary elections have ever taken place conclude Tuesday, as registered Democrats and Republicans in Ellington and Somers head to the polls, or continue dropping off absentee ballots in special receptacles in front of their respective town halls.
The onset of the coronavirus pandemic has led to unprecedented safety measures. For the August 2020 primaries, all residents had the option of voting by absentee ballot, pursuant to Executive Order No. 7QQ of Gov. Ned Lamont. Absentee ballots must be deposited by 8 p.m.
Those opting to vote in person may do so Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at these polling locations:
