CT voter turnout higher in 2025 than past municipal elections

Voter turnout statewide reached 36% in the 2025 municipal elections — higher turnout than Connecticut saw in the 2021 and the 2023 elections, according to this morning’s preliminary results.

As of Friday morning, the Secretary of the State reported that 788,511 of 2.18 million registered Connecticut voters had their votes counted — either after showing up to the polls on Tuesday, during early voting or through a mail-in ballot. With 99.85% of precincts reporting, 2025 voter turnout was nearly four percentage points above 2021 municipal election turnout.

While the results for this year’s municipal election resulted in a “blue wave,” flipping 29 Connecticut towns and cities to Democrat control, voter turnout for the Democratic primary earlier this year was nearly 3 points below Republican primary turnout. Historically, fewer Democrats have showed up to the polls during primaries than Republicans.

Despite higher voter turnout this municipal election cycle, in some of the state’s most populated areas, less than 10% of eligible voters cast a ballot.
