The Wilton League of Women Voters extends thanks to all the candidates who stepped up to serve our community.  We also thank our tireless Registrars and poll workers who are committed to ensuring a smooth Election Day.

Voter turnout was strong in Wilton.  67% of registered voters exercised their right to cast their ballot, either in person or by absentee ballot.  Civic engagement clearly matters here.

We are pleased that the Early Voting ballot referendum passed with more than a two-to-one margin in Wilton and by 59% - 41% statewide.  This referendum paves the way for the new State Assembly to pass legislation enabling early voting in Connecticut.  You can find more news on this, including next steps, here.

Finally the Wilton League of Women Voters congratulates the winning candidates and looks forward to working with our newly elected legislators and other officials in communicating timely information about issues and initiatives facing our town and state.
