The Wilton League of Women Voters reminds everyone that Tuesday, September 24th is National Voter Registration Day. It is a day to celebrate our democracy, opportunities, and rights. Many Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, fail to update registration, or are unsure how to register to vote. Voting is a prized civic duty. For any voter registration information, to check on voter registration status, or to register to vote go to: https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services/Voter-Information/Voter-Registration-Information

 

The Wilton League of Women Voters, the Wilton Library, and Good Morning Wilton will be jointly sponsoring two evening events to provide voters the opportunity to meet the candidates for this year’s municipal elections and to pose questions that will highlight candidate goals and priorities to make critical town decisions. The first forum on October 22 will present candidates running for Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance.  The second forum on October 29 will present the candidates running for the Board of Education and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Each event will follow a modified town hall format and be moderated by certified, out of town League of Women Voters moderators, who will present questions submitted by the public to all candidates. Questions for the candidates may be sent in advance through the Wilton League of Women Voters at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Both events will be streamed live and recorded by Good Morning Wilton; and later available to community members on the Good Morning Wilton and Wilton League of Women Voters websites.  Registration is highly recommended for each forum and may be done online at the Wilton Library website (October 22 and/or October 29) or call 203-762-6334.  Pre-registrants should arrive by 6:20 pm to guarantee seating; wait-listed and walk-in registrants will be admitted after 6:20 pm if space is available.
