A training class will take place on Wednesday, August 30th, at 9AM to 1PM., in the Somers Town Hall Auditorium for anyone interested in training to become a state-certified Elections Moderator.

There is no charge to attend this 4 hour long course for Somers residents. The class will be taught by a state-certified instructor. There is a short test at the end of the training to become certified for a 4-year period.
The Election Moderator serves as the chief public official at each polling place. In effect, the Election Moderator represents all the citizens in their municipality and is therefore responsible for ensuring that all election laws and procedures are followed. In addition, the Election Moderator must do whatever is in his/her power to allow for a smooth voting process for all voters. Connecticut certified Elections Moderators are appointed by the Registrar of Voters and can be hired by any town within CT.
If you are interested in attending this class, please notify the Somers Registrar of Voters at (860) 763-8211 with your contact information as soon as possible. You can also email the registrar at: [email protected].
