Election 2022

Election 2022

The stakes are high for community nonprofits this election season. On November 8, Connecticut will hold elections for all statewide constitutional offices, the legislature as well as federal representation in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. These officials will shape state and federal policy for the coming years.

Election related activities are part of a larger continuum of civic engagement for many in the nonprofit community. By engaging voters and candidates this election season, nonprofits will further their missions, have a positive impact on communities, build relationships with potential and current elected officials, and increase the general understanding of policy issues important to community nonprofits.

2022 Primary Election Candidates

Primaries are open to all registered voters enrolled in the political party. If you are a Democrat, you only will vote in the Democratic primary; if you are a Republican, you will vote in the Republican primary. If you are not affiliated with either party, you are not eligible to vote in the primary. Because there are statewide primaries in both parties there will be primary elections for both parties in each town. You vote at your normal polling place, but that may have changed recently due to redistricting, so double check.
