Enfield ballot carries $511 million school building question and charter revision
Early voting at Town Hall runs Oct. 19 through Nov. 1
ENFIELD - Enfield voters will decide two local questions on Nov. 3, according to the town's official notice of the state election signed by Town Clerk Sheila M. Bailey. The first asks whether the town should appropriate $511 million to build new Hazardville Memorial, Prudence Crandall, Parkman and Barnard elementary schools and convert Eli Whitney Elementary into the Eagle Academy Therapeutic Day School.
The question authorizes town bonds or notes of no more than $89 million, with the rest of the cost to come from grants and other available funds, the notice says. The second question asks whether to adopt Town Charter revisions proposed by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the Town Council in Resolution #7549 on June 23, 2026.
Early voting runs Oct. 19 through Nov. 1 in the Enfield Room at Town Hall, 820 Enfield St., from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with hours extended to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 27 and 29. Same-day registration will be offered in the Scitico Room. Election Day polls are open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Under the state election calendar, Oct. 16 is the regular registration deadline for anyone not using same-day registration.
