Registered voters may cast their vote by absentee if they are unable to appear at the polling place on the day of a primary, election or referendum due to one or more of the following reasons:  You may vote by absentee ballot (also known as mail-in ballot) in Connecticut if:

• You will be absent from town during all the hours of voting.
• You have an illness which prevents you from voting in person.
• You have a physical disability which prevents you from voting in person.
• You are on active duty within the U.S. military.
• Your religious tenets forbid secular (non-religious) activity on Election Day.
• You are required to perform of duties as a primary, referendum, or election official at a polling place other than your own during all the hours of voting on Election Day.

If none of the above items apply to you, then your vote may not be counted.
