Voters in Greenwich will turn out on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, for the town’s municipal election, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to the town’s Registrar of Voters Fred DeCaro. Polling will proceed at the 12 designated locations throughout town.
DeCaro said the town’s election officials are prepared for the twosided ballot this year—front side for primary offices and the reverse for the Representative Town Meeting (RTM) races—and are using newly upgraded ballot tabulators at all polling places. “You still vote on paper,” he said, “but the new machines have a few more bells and whistles, including an electronic screen that tells you your vote’s been counted.”
He emphasized that voters must pay attention to multi-seat races. For the Board of Estimate and Taxation (BET), voters may select up to six candidates; choosing seven will invalidate that portion of the ballot, though votes in other contests still count. For the Board of Education (BOE), voters may select up to four candidates. He noted the new machines will alert a voter if the limit is exceeded: “If you over-vote, the machine will ask whether you want to cast this ballot or have it returned so you can get a new one.”
The Secretary of the State’s Office released a brief video showing how to use the new ballot tabulators debuting this Election Day. DeCaro said the video helps familiarize residents with the new machines, which “give clear on-screen feedback to reassure voters that their ballot has been successfully recorded.” It can be viewed here: https://vimeo.com/1128949077 or by using the QR code in the graphic above.

District 2: Greenwich Town Hall
District 3: Western Middle School
District 4: New Lebanon School
District 5: Riverside School
District 6: Old Greenwich School

Additional Voting Reminders
DeCaro said mid-afternoon (around 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.) is typically the quietest time, noting: “If you want to walk in and walk out, midafternoon from about one to six is usually the quietest time.” He also reminded voters that the ballot layout this year places RTM races on the back side of the ballot.
In the BOE race, he pointed out a unique scenario: Democratic candidate Laura Kostin petitioned successfully onto the ballot, creating three names on the Democratic Row A; however only the two highest vote-getters will be seated from that line. Two Republicans are also running unopposed.
Early Voting Break-Out
While Election Day remains the primary focus, early voting is available through Nov. 2 at Greenwich Town Hall. As of press time, Mr. DeCaro reported 1,781 ballots cast: 760 Democrats, 604 Republicans and 417 unaffiliated voters. He said, “Voting is lower than I expected… but I don’t think that means overall turnout will be lower.”
Voters who have not yet cast their ballots should verify their assigned polling place and plan to arrive any time before 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
