The Lyme Democratic Town Committee (DTC) is encouraging all Lyme citizens of voting age to turn out for the Tuesday, April 26, Connecticut Presidential Primary.  Lyme DTC Chairman Steven Mattson offers this advice to area residents:

• Registered Democratic and Republican voters should make plans now to vote on Tuesday, April 26, at the Lyme Fire House at 213 Hamburg Road.  The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• If you haven’t registered to vote yet, there’s still one last opportunity remaining. You can register on Monday, April 25, at Lyme Town Hall at 480 Hamburg Road between 9 a.m. and noon.
• If you’re a registered voter, but not affiliated with the Democratic or Republican parties, it’s possible for you to affiliate with either party, vote in the upcoming primary, then return (if you like) to unaffiliated status after the primary.  To do so, you must go in person to the Lyme Town Hall no later than noon on April 25 to choose a party.  To return to unaffiliated status after the primary, you must contact the Registrar of Voters at Lyme Town Hall. (If you are already affiliated with one party and wish to change your affiliation to another, there is a three-month waiting period to do so.)

The Lyme DTC promotes Democratic principles in government at the local level; recruits and nominates Democratic candidates for local offices; recruits and recommends Democratic appointees for local commissions and boards; supports the campaigns of local, state and national Democratic candidates during elections; and promotes voter registration and engagement.
