Final preparations are underway in Connecticut ahead of Election Day.
“In our business, Election Day is like the Superbowl,” Derby Town Clerk Marc Garofalo said. “I think everybody is ready to go, our poll workers are all set, they will have final training on Monday evening.”
On Tuesday, voters will head to the polls and elect the next local officials.
“What a lot of people don’t seem to understand is their property taxes, their school funding, the potholes in the road, these decisions are made by the people we are electing on Tuesday,” Deputy Secretary of the State Jacqueline Kozin said.
