The Vote-Ready Fair followed at the front steps of West Hartford Town Hall, where IndivisibleCT hosted an informational booth offering guidance on early voting and explanations of ballot procedures. The booth also featured mock ballots to help residents familiarize themselves with the voting process.

A caravan of decorated cars traveled through the center to kick off the fair. The events officially concluded around 2 p.m.

The gathering was part of a nationwide day of action organized by the No Kings coalition, which encouraged eligible voters to make a plan to vote and learn about their voting options ahead of the midterm election.
