康涅狄格州投票日:州长拉蒙特寻求第三任期,提前投票近51万张

11月3日,康涅狄格州大选投票日到来,全州169个市镇的投票站从上午6时开放至晚上8时,选票涵盖全部6名州级宪法官员、5名联邦众议员和州议会187个席位。州长选举是本轮焦点:民主党现任州长内德·拉蒙特寻求第三个任期,对手是共和党州参议员、格林威治市议员瑞安·法齐奥。
拉蒙特计划11月3日上午先到格林威治高中投票,随后北上前往哈特福德市 Dunkin Park 参加选举夜活动;法齐奥则早在10月19日提前投票首日就已投票。州务卿办公室11月2日公布,提前投票结束时,全州已有505,973张选票投出,其中提前现场投票455,169张、缺席选票50,804张,占222万合资格选民的约23%。
这是康州第二次举行全州提前现场投票、第一次实行无理由缺席投票,观察人士关注投票率能否超过2022年中期选举的57.62%。州议会方面,民主党目前在众议院以102席对49席、在参议院以25席对11席占多数,两党均不预期力量对比出现重大变化。

Connecticut Election Day: Gov. Lamont Seeks a Third Term After Nearly 506,000 Early Ballots
Connecticut polls were open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on November 3 across all 169 towns, with all six constitutional offices, five U.S. House seats and all 187 General Assembly seats on the ballot. The marquee race was for governor: Democratic incumbent Ned Lamont sought a third term against Republican state Sen. Ryan Fazio of Greenwich. Lamont planned to vote at Greenwich High School in the morning before heading to an election-night event at Dunkin Park in Hartford; Fazio voted on October 19, the first day of early voting. The Secretary of the State reported on November 2 that 505,973 ballots had already been cast, including 455,169 in-person early ballots and 50,804 absentee ballots, about 23% of the state's 2.22 million eligible voters. This was Connecticut's second statewide early in-person voting period and its first no-excuse absentee election, and observers were watching whether turnout would beat the 57.62% of the 2022 midterms. Democrats entered the day holding the state House 102-49 and the Senate 25-11, and neither party expected a major shift.
