Connecticut voters who do not present an accepted form of identification can sign an affidavit, then an election official will determine their eligibility to vote. A first-time voter who does not present an accepted form of identification can cast a provisional ballot.

In New York, the deadline to register to vote in the general election was Oct. 26. In New Jersey, the deadline was Oct. 15. Voters who did not register in time are ineligible to vote on Election Day. 

Connecticut allows same-day voter registration for eligible voters at a single designated polling place in each town on Election Day.
