Voting in Primaries

Primaries in Connecticut are segregated by political party.  Although enrollment in a political party is optional when you register to vote, only enrolled members of a party are eligible to vote in a primary for that party.  Unaffiliated voters can enroll in a party at any time by completing a new Voter Registration Form (designating the party in which they wish to enroll) and submitting the Form to the Registrar of Voters.  Unaffiliated voters have the option of registering  in a major party until noon (in person at the Registrar of Voters office) on the day before the primary,  at which point they will immediately attain party rights and are eligible to participate in the party primary.

Changing parties may also be accomplished by submitting a new, completed, Voter Registration  Form to the Registrar of Voters; although, changing parties may result in the loss of rights in all parties for 3 months.
