North Haven voters will see 10 races on one sheet when they vote in the Nov. 3 state election, from governor down to the town’s Registrar of Voters. There are no ballot questions this year. Here is every name on the North Haven ballot, the party lines they appear on, and where and when you can vote, including two late nights for early voting this week.

The lists below come from the Connecticut Secretary of the State’s official sample ballot for North Haven. Every one of the town’s five voting districts gets the same ballot: North Haven is in the 3rd Congressional District, the 34th State Senate District and the 87th Assembly District.

Local races on the North Haven ballot

Judge of Probate: Michael R. Brandt, Republican, is the only name printed in this race.

Registrar of Voters: James Carew, Democratic, and Jennifer Massini Vanacore, Republican. The town website lists Jim Carew and Jennifer Vanacore as North Haven’s two current registrars, the officials who run the town’s elections.

Every race also has a write-in row. A candidate appearing on more than one party line gets every vote cast for them on any of those lines, so pick the line you prefer. The vote counts the same either way.

Early voting: two late nights this week

Early voting and same-day registration run at the Mildred A. Wakeley Community and Recreation Center, 7 Linsley St., through Sunday, Nov. 1. The regular hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This Tuesday, Oct. 27, and Thursday, Oct. 29, the center stays open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All five districts vote early at the Rec Center, no matter where you normally vote.

Our earlier stories cover the details: how early voting works at the Rec Center and the North Haven voter guide on registration and the Town Hall drop box.
