South Windsor Election Day Q&A

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5 and if you're a little fuzzy on the details, Patch is here to help. 

In South Windsor, voters will choose a slate of new elected officials for town boards ranging from Town Council and Board of Education to Planning and Zoning and Constable.

Here's a quick rundown on the basics:

1. What time can I vote? On Election Day, polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Identification, including a drivers' license, utility bill, paycheck or other ID, is required to vote. 

2. Where do I vote?  Visit the Connecticut Secretary of the State website, where you can check registration status and find your polling place. 

The polling places are:
1. Pleasant Valley School
2. Eli Terry School
3. South Windsor High School
4. Philip R Smith School
5. Timothy Edwards Middle School

3. When will we know who won? Unofficial election returns are available after the polls close at 8 p.m. on Election night. Unofficial returns are updated throughout the night as the precincts report in. Keep an eye on Patch for updates.

4. I forgot to register. Can I still vote? The South Windsor Registrars of Voters will provide Election Day Registration at Town Hall in the Sprenkel Room in the lower level of Town Hall during voting hours on Tuesday. Any resident of South Windsor who is not already registered is eligible.

5. What is the referendum question? The referendum question asks voters whether the town should sell a .73 acre lot to Evergreen Walk for $177,600. According to the town manager, the land is leftover and is of no use to the town. Read more here.

The question looks like this:

“Shall the Resolution Authorizing Sale of Town-Owned Parcel of Landwhich authorizes, subject to the conditions set forth therein, the sale to Evergreen Walk, LLC of a parcel of land identified as Map 38 Lot 13 for $177,600.00, which Resolution was approved by the Town Council on September 3, 2013, be adopted?  YES/NO”
