Windsor Locks Redistricting May Change Your Polling Location

Due to the recent redistricting by the CT General Assembly as mandated by Federal and State law, Windsor Locks now has two districts instead of one. This also means there are now two State Representatives. District 61 will vote at the Mario Gatti Town Hall and District 60 will vote at Windsor Locks High School. As a result of the new mapping, your district and polling location may change. If a residents polling location is changing you will receive written communication in the mail from the Registrars of Voters.

For more information and answers to frequently asked questions, including a map of redistricting, please go to www.cga.ct.gov and search for: 2021 Redistricting Project.
