Connecticut voters go to the polls today to choose their party nominees for a number of offices on the November ballot. The most prominent contests are those for U.S. Senate and the fifth congressional district, both of which are open and have primary races in both parties. However, there are a total of 19 races taking place, including one additional congressional contest (for the Republican nomination in the second district), three in the state Senate and 12 in the House of Representatives, two registrars of voters contests, and one for probate judge.
A press release from the secretary of the state’s office lists the primary contests taking place around the state. It also has the number of voters registered with each political party, broken out by congressional district, and the number of new voters registered since January 1.
