What is this website for?: It helps New Haven voters understand what a welcoming, well-run polling place looks like, and lets them write down what they personally noticed on Election Day. It is made by neighbors, not by a campaign or a government office.
Is this an official election site?: No. For official information, use the Connecticut Secretary of the State and the New Haven Registrar of Voters. We link to them on every topic page.
What happens to an observation I submit?: A small volunteer review team reads it. Observations are unverified firsthand reports. They are never published individually, and no polling place is rated or ranked. Patterns across many reports may be summarized later only after a separate review, and never with names.
Something is wrong right now. What should I do?: Tell the moderator at the polling place first. If that does not help, call Connecticut's Election Day hotline at 866-SEEC-INFO (866-733-2463) or the New Haven Registrar of Voters at (203) 946-8035. This website cannot fix a problem while it is happening.
If I did not see something on the list, does that mean the polling place broke the law?: No. Many things on these lists only come up when a voter needs them, like a provisional ballot or language help. Not seeing something is not a problem. Record only what you personally saw or heard.
Do I have to give my name?: No. Name and email are optional. If you give them, they are stored separately from your observation and used only to follow up if you asked us to.
What should I not do at the polling place?: Do not photograph ballots or other voters, do not enter areas reserved for workers, do not argue with poll workers, and do not interfere with anyone who is voting. Observing means noticing, not policing.
Why these languages?: English and Spanish are the languages most spoken at home in New Haven, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. Chinese, French and Haitian Creole, and Arabic follow. The non-English versions on this site are drafts that still need review by qualified translators; each page says so.
Who made this?: Fellow New Haveners who care about voting. The legal summaries are plain-language explanations, not legal advice. Every summary links to the law itself so you can read the source.
