Hartford: Secretary of the State Denise Merrill today reminded eligible voters in 14 Connecticut communities holding municipal elections on Tuesday May 2, 2011 voter registration deadlines are fast approaching.  Adult citizens in these communities who wish to vote can register by mail as long as their registration cards are postmarked by Monday, April 18th.  Voters also have until Monday April 25th at 8:00 p.m. to register in-person at their local Registrar of Voters office.
