Branford's Election Guide for Voters

What you need to know before heading to the polls.

The 2011 local elections will be held Nov. 8. We've done some interviews with the candidates for First Selectman's Office, -R, and incumbent . We've also chatted with Second Selectmen candidates -R and -D. Are there other interviews you'd like to read? Let us know in the comment section. 

As we gear up for the big polling day – remember schools will be closed – we offer you a detailed voting guide to ensure you are ready to cast your ballot.
