Polling stations in Lyme and Old Lyme open today at 6 a.m.
It’s Primary Day today in Connecticut. Polls will be open in Lyme at the Lyme Town Hall and Old Lyme at the Cross Lane Firehouse from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in this election.
The State Voting Guide notes, “You must either show identification or sign a one line affidavit at the polling place if you have not provided proper identification when registering. A photo ID is not required. Acceptable forms of ID at the polling place are:
- A Social Security card
- Any other preprinted form of identification that shows your name and address, name and signature, or name and photograph.
- Any current and valid photo ID that shows your name and address
- Copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government paycheck or other government document that shows your name and address
If you do not have identification, the affidavit form requires your name, residential address, date of birth, and signature. The affidavit states, under penalty of false statement, that you are the one whose name appears on the official checklist.”
