The Elections Department consists of two Registrars of Voters -- who must be one Republican and one Democratic.  Our mission is twofold:

• Protect the rights of individual voters/electors, and
• Ensure that all votes – elections, primaries, and referenda – are impartial, fair and in compliance with local, state and federal laws.

To make sure the Election Department accomplishes these important goals, we...

• Maintain and safeguard the Registry of Woodbury Voters, both the physical registration cards and the State voter Database, Connecticut Voter Registration System.
• Publicize and Conduct special Voter Registration sessions to encourage voter participation in the voting process
• Oversee all votes – Elections, Primaries and Referenda. Responsibilities include:

o    providing a state certified Moderator for each vote/polling place

o    training and staffing each polling place,

o    ensuring that there are enough ballots
