Center for Latino Progress volunteers are canvassing Hartford neighborhoods with bilingual voter information packets and voter pledge cards before Election Day on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The packets cover when to vote, how to register, and how to find polling sites.
Why it matters
The Center for Latino Progress says many Hispanic community members do not understand or trust the voting process, and some are misinformed about what voting entails. The nonpartisan outreach aims to address those gaps before polls open.
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and voters in line at 8 p.m. can still cast a ballot. The extraction does not report how many households the canvassing has reached.
The players

The details
Volunteers trained in nonpartisan civic engagement, including recommended language use and connecting with people of different political views, walk Hartford neighborhoods handing out bilingual packets. The Office of the Secretary of the State also provides a 2026 Voter Guide in English and Spanish, and volunteers offer voter pledge cards as a promise to vote.
Timeline
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with polls open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Canvassing is taking place in the days leading up to the election.
Political Context
The Office of the Secretary of the State publishes a 2026 Voter Guide in English and Spanish, which the canvassing effort works alongside. Fernandez's comments point to trust and misinformation gaps that a printed guide alone may not close.
Hartford residents who are unsure how to register or where to vote can use the bilingual packets and the state's English and Spanish voter guide before November 3. Voters still in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot.
The takeaway
Checking your registration status and polling location before Election Day can help avoid confusion at the polls. Bilingual voter guides are available for residents who prefer Spanish.
