## Election procedure changes in 2020[edit]

See also: Changes to election dates, procedures, and administration in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 2020

Ballotpedia provided comprehensive coverage of how election dates and procedures changed in 2020. While the majority of changes occurred as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, some changes occurred for other reasons.

Connecticut modified its absentee/mail-in voting and candidate filing procedures for the November 3, 2020, general election as follows:

* Absentee/mail-in voting: Absentee/mail-in ballot applications were sent to all registered voters in the general election. Voters could cite concern over COVID-19 as a reason for voting absentee in the general election.
* Candidate filing procedures: The filing deadlines for major-party and unaffiliated candidates were extended by two days, to June 11, 2020, and August 7, 2020, respectively.

## Process to become a candidate[edit]

See also: Ballot access requirements for political candidates in Connecticut

See statutes: Chapter 153 of the Connecticut Statutes

### Major party candidates[edit]

If more than one candidate belonging to the same party is running for the same office, a primary election will be held for that office. If there is only a single candidate seeking a party's nomination for an office, that candidate will advance to the general election without running in the primary election.[7][8][9]

A major party candidate may be nominated to run in the primary election in one of two ways: nomination at a convention or nomination by petition.[7]

#### By nomination at a convention[edit]

To be nominated at a convention, a candidate must receive at least 15 percent of the votes cast by convention delegates for the office being sought. After being nominated at a convention, a candidate must file a certificate of nomination with the Connecticut Secretary of State. The certificate must be signed by the candidate, state that the candidate was endorsed by the major party at the convention, and provide the candidate's name as it will appear on the ballot, the candidate's address, and the office being sought by the candidate. The certificate must also be attested to by the chairman, presiding officer, or secretary of the convention.[7][10]

#### By petition[edit]

A candidate who has been nominated by convention cannot be nominated by petition. To be nominated by petition, a major party candidate must collect signatures equal to at least 2 percent of the total number of members enrolled in that major party in the state (5 percent for state legislative candidates). Petition forms to collect those signatures are provided by the Connecticut Secretary of State beginning on the 105th day preceding the primary election for candidates seeking federal or state executive office. Candidates seeking office in the Connecticut State Legislature can retrieve petition forms beginning on the 77th day preceding the primary election.[7]

Petitions must be filed with the registrar of voters in each town in which signatures were collected no later than the 63 days preceding the primary. The registrar of voters must provide a receipt of the petition to the candidate, and the candidate must file a copy of that receipt with the Connecticut Secretary of State. The registrar of voters must then certify the names on the petition and file it with the Connecticut Secretary of State within seven days.[7][11]

### Minor party candidates[edit]

A minor party candidate whose party has not yet attained qualified status must be nominated by petition. A minor party petition candidate affiliates with his or her party on an "Application for Reservation of Party Designation and Formation of Party Designation Committee." This form must be filed with the Connecticut Secretary of State. On this application, the candidate must indicate a party, whose name includes no more than three words (or no more than 25 letters), and must provide signatures from 25 registered voters in the state. The candidate must also provide the names of two individuals who will be responsible for filing a statement of endorsement qualifying the candidate to run under the party name specified. Candidates for the same minor party for state offices may be included on the same petition. Candidates for all other offices must file separate petitions.[12][13][14]

A minor party candidate whose party has attained qualified status can be nominated without a petition. The presiding officer of the committee or meeting in charge of deciding on nominations is required to certify and file a list of the minor party’s nominees with the Connecticut Secretary of State no later than 62 days prior to the election in which the candidates will be running. The list of nominees must include the following information:[15][16]

* the names of the candidates as they will appear on the ballot
* the signature of each candidate
* the address of each candidate
* the title and office sought by each candidate

### Petition candidates[edit]

An unaffiliated candidate can petition for ballot access. To do this, the candidate must first file an application for the petition with the Connecticut Secretary of State. The application must include the name of the candidate and a statement signed by the candidate affirming that he or she has consented to place his or her name on the petition. The candidate may then circulate the petition. The candidate must collect signatures from registered, eligible voters equal to 1 percent of the votes cast at the most recent election for the office being sought by the candidate, or 7,500 signatures, whichever is less.[12][17][18]

Once completed, the petition may be filed with either the Connecticut Secretary of State or the town clerk where the candidate resides. If the petition is filed with the town clerk, the town clerk must submit it to the Connecticut Secretary of State within two weeks of receiving it.[12][19]

### Write-in candidates[edit]

A write-in candidate may only run in the general election. To do so, he or she must register with the Connecticut Secretary of State no earlier than 90 days but no later than 14 days before the general election. The registration must include the candidate's name and address, the office being sought, and a statement of consent to be a candidate. A write-in candidate cannot designate an affiliation with a political party, and no candidate who was nominated by a major or minor party or by petition may run as a write-in candidate.[20][21]

### 2020 ballot access requirements[edit]

The table below details filing requirements for Connecticut House of Representatives candidates in the 2020 election cycle.

Filing requirements for state legislative candidates, 2020

Chamber name  | Party  | Signatures required  | Filing fee  | Filing deadline  | Source

Connecticut House of Representatives | Unaffiliated | 1% of votes cast for the office being sought in the last preceding election (reduced to 70% of statutory requirement in response to COVID-19 outbreak) | N/A | 8/7/2020 | Source

### Qualifications[edit]

See also: State legislature candidate requirements by state

Article III, Section 4 of the Connecticut Constitution states: The house of representatives shall consist of not less than one hundred twenty-five and not more than two hundred twenty-five members, each of whom shall be an elector residing in the assembly district from which he is elected. Each assembly district shall be contiguous as to territory and shall elect no more than one representative. For the purpose of forming assembly districts, no town shall be divided except for the purpose of forming assembly districts wholly within the town.

## Voter information[edit]

### How the primary works[edit]

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate whom they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Connecticut utilizes a closed primary system, in which only registered party members may vote in a party's primary.[23][24][25][26]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

### Poll times[edit]

In Connecticut, all polling places are open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Election Day. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[27]

### Registration requirements[edit]

To vote in Connecticut, one must be a U.S. citizen and Connecticut resident who will be at least 18 years old before Election Day.[28]

Registration applications can be submitted online or completed via paper forms. Same-day registration is available in Connecticut for general elections, though not for primary elections.[29]

### Automatic registration[edit]

Connecticut automatically registers eligible individuals to vote through the Department of Motor Vehicles.

### Online registration[edit]

See also: Online voter registration

Connecticut has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.

### Same-day registration[edit]

Connecticut allows same-day voter registration.

### Residency requirements[edit]

To register to vote in Connecticut, you must be a resident of the state. State law does not specify a length of time for which you must have been a resident to be eligible.

### Verification of citizenship[edit]

See also: Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States

Connecticut does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration.

### Verifying your registration[edit]

The site Voter Registration Lookup, run by the Connecticut Secretary of State office, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.

### Voter ID requirements[edit]

Connecticut requires voters to present non-photo identification while voting.[30]

The following list of accepted ID was current as of August 2022. Click here for the Connecticut Secretary of State's page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

First-time voters who registered by mail must present one of the following forms of identification to vote in an election with federal candidates on the ballot:

* Copy of a current and valid photo identification with the voter’s name and address, or
* Copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or government document that shows the voter’s name and address.

Other voters must present one of the following forms of identification:

* Social security card, or
* Pre-printed form of identification that shows the voter's name and address, name and signature, or name and photograph.

### Early voting[edit]

Connecticut does not permit early voting.

### Absentee voting[edit]

Connecticut voters are eligible to vote absentee in an election if they cannot make it to the polls on election day for one of the following reasons:[31]

* Active military service
* Absence from town of residence during voting hours
* Illness or physical disability
* Religious beliefs precluding secular activity on election day
* Performance of duties as an election official at a different polling place during voting hours

An absentee ballot must be returned either in person by close of business the day before the election or by mail. If returned by mail, the ballot must be received by close of polls on election day.[32]
