On August 14th, 2012 and November 6th, 2012 polls will be open from 6 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Wilton has three voting districts:
| District # | Voting Location |
|---|---|

| 2 | Driscoll School Gym – 336 Belden Hill Road |
| 3 | Middlebrook School Gym – 131 School Road |
Due to state redistricting, your voting district may have changed! After April 1, 2012, you may check which district you are in using the online District Lookup Tool on the Town of Wilton’s website.
Voter Identification
Remember to bring a social security card, driver’s license, or other preprinted form of identification with either your name and address, or name and signature, or name and photograph, to the polls. If you don’t have any of these types of ID and are a registered voter, you may sign an affidavit of identity prescribed by the Secretary of the State.
Voters with disabilities can request assistance in completing a ballot from anyone they wish, as long as that person is not an employer, an agent of their employer, a union representative, or a candidate for election. Elections officials are also available to assist, upon request. Every polling place has one wheelchair accessible, private voting booth and magnifiers are available in all voting booths for those with trouble reading the ballot. Each polling place also has a vote-by-phone, paper ballot marking system. Voters with difficulty walking into the polling place may request curbside assistance in voting from an elections official. Finally, if voters have physical disabilities which make voting at the polls impossible, they may vote by absentee ballot by contacting the town clerk’s office at 563-0106.
