New Haven residents cast their ballots on Tuesday, November 3, delivering a decisive victory for the Democratic ticket of Governor Ned Lamont and Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz. The pair secured 87 percent of the city’s vote, while Republican challengers Ryan Fazio and Matt Corey received just 13 percent.

Comparison to Statewide Results

Lamont and Bysiewicz’s city margin dwarfs their already strong statewide performance, where they defeated the Fazio‑Corey ticket by 60 percent to 40 percent. The New Haven results underscore the strong Democratic lean of the city compared with the broader Connecticut electorate.

Voter Turnout

A total of 26,862 New Haven voters participated, representing a turnout of 42.54 percent. By contrast, the statewide turnout was 57.36 percent. In the 2022 midterm election, New Haven’s turnout was slightly higher at 44.97 percent, while the state’s overall turnout was 57.62 percent.

Official Data Release

The detailed ward‑by‑ward breakdown was released by Democratic Registrar of Voters Shannel Evans on Tuesday. The data set, available for download, confirms the overwhelming support for the incumbents across every precinct in the city.

Implications

While the election was a clear affirmation of Lamont and Bysiewicz’s leadership in New Haven, the lower city turnout compared with the state suggests room for increased civic engagement at the municipal level. Local officials and community groups may look to this data as a catalyst for voter‑education initiatives ahead of future elections.
