To the Editor:
Connecticut is seeing more people running for state office than in recent memory, and most likely there will be Primary Elections on Aug. 14 to determine who will be on the November ballots.
As we’ve seen, elections matter and the people who run all levels of government impact our lives. Voters in the primaries will play an influential role in selecting which candidates will appear on the ballot in November.
Here’s the important fact to know: you cannot vote in a primary if you are not a member of the party on the ballot. If you want to change your party affiliation from one party to another, there is a three-month waiting period to attain voting privileges in your new party. In order to vote in the August 14th primary, the deadline to switch from one political party to another is May 14.
We urge you to consider joining a party, or switch parties, in time to vote in the primaries. By not voting you’re allowing someone else to choose for you.
