Secretary of the State Denise Merrill has officially certified the results of the November 8th General Election. The final figures reveal that 1,675,955 people cast a ballot out of an all-time high 2,178,169 registered voters, amounting to just under 77 percent turnout.  Overall turnout was higher than the presidential election year in 2012, but lower than 2008.

Merrill says election modernization, like online registration and same day registration, is working. She says the state needs to continue looking for conveniences to offer Connecticut voters. 

A full Statement of the Vote including final vote tallies for candidates for President of the United States, U.S. Senator, Members of Congress, General Assembly, and Registrars of Voters by town, county, Congressional District and Legislative District will be published by the beginning of the General Assembly’s 2017 legislative session in January.
