Power Promised to all CT Polling Places

Connecticut utility companies say all polling places in the state will have power on Election Day on Tuesday, although some might be running on generator power.

Officials with Connecticut Light & Power Co. said Sunday that some polling places in New Canaan, Stamford and Greenwich remain without electricity in its coverage area in the southwestern part of the state.

CL&P says it's working to restore power or install generators at those locations by Sunday night.

In Guilford, all polling places are no online, said the First Selectman, Joseph S. Mazza. They are now running on regular power.

A spokesman for United Illuminating says power has been restored at all 192 polling places in the Bridgeport and New Haven areas that the company serves.

The two companies reported a combined 63,460 remaining outages Sunday, down from a peak of 625,000 after Superstorm Sandy.
