Mansfield residents cast their ballots on November 3, 2026, to determine the outcome of four distinct federal and state races. The election includes contests for Connecticut governor, a U.S. House seat, and three separate state legislative districts. Voters in the town will select officials for the executive branch, the state senate, and two different state house districts based on their specific addresses.

Four additional statewide offices appear on the ballot for Mansfield voters. Stephanie Thomas, a Democrat, runs against Republican Peter Lumaj for Secretary of the State. Thomas receives endorsements from both the Working Families and Independent parties. For Treasurer, Democratic candidate Erick Russell faces Republican Fred Wilms.
