Results of 2026 Voter Canvass
Each year, in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes Section §9-32, the Somers Registrar of Voters conducts an annual random canvass of active registered voters to determine their continued eligibility. Those voters who received a canvass letter, but did not return their form within 30 days indicating their continued residence in Somers had their active status changed to inactive by the CT Secretary of the State. For 2026, the Registrar's Office sent out a total of 1482 letters. The deadline to respond to the letters was May 1, 2026. As a result, 406 voters replied by the deadline to maintain their active voter status, 103 voters confirmed they had moved away and were removed from the voter rolls, 54 letters were returned by the Post Office as having an undeliverable address and 919 voters were made inactive for not confirming their address and returning the letter within the allotted thirty days.
Residents of Somers can verify their active status as voters by going to http://www.dir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx and filling in their name and birthday. After the search, if the message states "name cannot be found" the voter is no longer on the active list, and if they wish to continue to vote, they must re-register either by registering online at https://voterregistration.ct.gov/OLVR/welcome.do or by visiting the Somers Town Hall, Somers Registrar, or Town Clerk's office and completing a Voter Registration Form. A copy of the list of inactive voters is posted on the main bulletin board in Town Hall.
Residents can stop by and check their status there as well. The registrars would like to thank all those citizens who responded to the canvass helping to keep the voter registration rolls accurate.
