2024 Potential Voters Map
This project is brought to you with the generous support of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
Using U.S. Census and Connecticut Secretary of The State Data to Locate Potential Eligible Voters That Are Not Yet Registered.
We’ve analyzed voter registration data in Connecticut, and created interactive web maps to help you find potential unregistered voters and help them get registered to vote.

How to Use This Map
This map is designed to guide planning for voter registration and voter education efforts. It provides an estimate of the total number of individuals who are eligible to vote but not registered. This map can guide your overall strategy for registering all eligible voters in a given census block group.
The interactive map illustrates the difference between the estimated number of Connecticut residents who are eligible to vote and those who are actually registered to vote.
We do not recommend using this map to report the absolute number of non-registered voters in a particular area, given geocoding limitations and sometimes high margins of errors of estimates from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

About The Data
Data on the 2.4 million registered voters in Connecticut comes from the Secretary of State’s Office as of March 2024. Voter addresses were geocoded (97.3% match) and then aggregated by census block group to calculate the difference between the number of eligible (estimate) and registered voters.
The estimated number of residents eligible to vote in each census block group comes from 2022 American Community Survey 5-year estimates Citizen Voting Age Population (CVAP) dataset. The margins of error provided correspond to a 90% confidence interval.
Data is shown at the census block group level (areas of 600–3,000 people). Block groups with darker shades of blue represent places with a larger number of non-registered voters. Some of these areas include colleges and universities with student housing, such as Storrs where the University of Connecticut is located.
Please note: the number of registered voters may be higher than the estimated number of residents who are eligible to vote, resulting in >100% percent estimated as registered to vote. This is because the number of eligible residents is an estimate from the American Community Survey and is prone to error. Margins of error are printed in the pop-ups.
