Ridgefield Registrar of Voters

We would like to thank all 2,113 voters who came out to participate in the referendum. Your engagement and commitment to the community are greatly appreciated.

We would also like to congratulate Alex, along with many of his classmates, for casting their votes for the very first time. It is always encouraging to see young voters becoming involved in the democratic process.

The new voting machines performed flawlessly throughout the day. The State is still evaluating the optimal size of the ovals used for ballot marking, and we appreciate everyone’s patience during this transition. You should all be proud that there were very few unreadable marks, which helped keep the process running smoothly with only minimal delays.

Thank you, Ridgefield, for another successful election day.

We had a highly productive and well-attended ROVAC conference this week in Hartford, bringing together Registrars of Voters from across the state. The conference provided a valuable opportunity to collaborate, exchange best practices, and discuss key priorities in election administration. We were also honored by the presence and participation of Madame Secratery.

If you had stopped by our office this week, you would have been welcomed by this sign. Each fall and spring, we have the opportunity to visit RHS to help register seniors to vote. In addition to voter registration, we also spend time with each class discussing Connecticut elections and the importance of civic participation.

Dear Residents,
We would like to take this opportunity to explain the post-election audit process in Connecticut that helps ensure the accuracy and integrity of our elections.

Pursuant to Public Act 07-194, “mandatory post-election hand count audits are to be conducted by Registrars of Voters in five percent (5%) of the voting districts randomly selected to participate.” The purpose of this hand count audit “is to assess how well the optical scan voting machines functioned in an actual election and to ensure that votes cast using these machines are counted properly and accurately.” It is important to note that “this is not a recount where the focus is reviewing each ballot to determine voter intent.” Instead, “the audit tests whether the machines accurately counted ballots that were properly marked.”

On Wednesday, November 12th, Ridgefield’s District 3 (Yanity Gym) was selected as one of the 32 voting precincts to be audited out of the 633 eligible in Connecticut. On Thursday afternoon, our Town Clerk, Wendy Gannon Lionetti, will randomly select the three races that will be audited.

The Town of Ridgefield will conduct its post-election audit on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Town Hall Annex. The audit is open to the public and is legally required to be bipartisan. Ballots from the selected district will be manually reviewed and compared to the machine totals.
We encourage any interested residents to attend and observe this important process. Transparency and public participation are key elements in maintaining trust and confidence in our elections.
Sincerely,

Jennifer Caron and Wayne Floegel
Registrars of Voters
Ridgefield, Connecticut
