Connecticut's second general election with early voting. Early in-person voting runs 14 days, October 19 through November 1, and 2026 is the first general election with no-excuse absentee voting. The Secretary of the State posts statewide totals each day: early votes and absentee ballots by party, plus the ten towns with the most early votes. Town-by-town figures for every town aren't published during the election.

By party
Shares shows each party's share of all ballots of each kind, including all ballots together (the All row keeps its counts).
Each party's cumulative share of early in-person votes: 2026 so far
Each party's share of all early in-person votes cast through that day (cumulative, not that day alone), from each daily release. The margin is Democratic minus Republican in points of those votes. The 2024 daily counts have no party split, so there is no same-day comparison with 2024.
