# [#]John,
Connecticut just made requesting an absentee ballot easier! You can now request your absentee ballot through a brand new online portal>> [[link removed]]
While you are still welcome to request an absentee ballot via a mail application or by visiting your town clerk, the online portal will offer a more convenient option for many.
If you are a registered voter with a Connecticut driver’s license, you can request your absentee ballot by phone, computer, or tablet on the new webpage.

As always, you are able to vote by absentee ballot if you are unable to go to a polling place on Election Day: * 
   Because
   you
   are
   actively
   serving
   in
   the
   military,
 * 
   Your
   religious
   beliefs
   prevent
   you
   from
   secular
   activities
   including
   voting
   on
   Election
   Day,
   and/or
 * 
   Your
   duties
   as
   an
   election
   official
   prevent
   you
   from
   voting
   on
   Election
   Day.
As of 2022, you are ALSO able to vote by absentee ballot if you are unable to go to a polling place on Election Day: * 
   Because
   of
   absence
   from
   your
   town
   for
   a
   period
   of
   time
   on
   Election
   Day,
   because
   of
   a
   sickness,
   or
   because
   of
   a
   disability. * 
      This
      includes
      voters
      who
      are
      unable
      to
      go
      to
      their
      polling
      place
      because
      of
      a
      sickness
      or
      physical
      disability
      of
      another
      person, 
      or
      because
      of
      the
      continued
      presence
      of
      a
      sickness,
      such
      as
      the
      COVID-19
      virus.
   
   
Remember absentee ballots must be received by town clerks no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 8th, 2022 , to be counted. It is not sufficient for an absentee ballot to be postmarked by Election Day.
Even if requesting your ballot with the new online portal, be sure to allow for ample time for the ballot to arrive to you by mail, and make a plan to return your ballot by 8 p.m. on Election Day!
We are excited to see more ways for people to engage in the voting process because it only strengthens our democracy.
