West Hartford 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 West Hartford, voters will choose a new Town Council and Board of Education.

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. A map is here.

During the last election, the polling places were consolidated from 20 to 9 and while that caused some problems, the election commission has been working to ensure the process runs more smoothly this year. Officials say they're ready.

The new polling places are:

District #1 - King Philip Middle School, 100 King Philip Drive
District #2 - Bristow Middle School, 34 Highland Street
District #3 - West Hartford Town Hall, 50 South Main Street
District #4 - Elmwood Community Center, 1106 New Britain Avenue
