The Secretary of the State’s office today announced the four winners of her annual “Democracy Cup”.
The annual award goes to the small, medium and large-sized towns with the highest voter turnout on election day. Those were New Hartford with 94.78 percent voter turnout; Avon with 95.65 percent turnout, Newtown with 88.97 percent turnout; and Stamford with 81.65 percent turnout.
The trophies will be handed out in December and displayed by the winners until next year. I would not be surprised if, upon receiving the cup, the Stamford Registrars of Voters partied like this.
