How did primaries work in Connecticut?
- A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that 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.[3]
How could I register to vote?
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.[4]
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.[5][6]
Online registration

Was there an early voting period?
- See also: Early voting
Connecticut does not permit no-excuse early voting.
Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that do not permit no-excuse early voting may still permit some citizens to vote early, provided that they have valid reasons for doing so; this practice is known as in-person absentee voting. As of January 30, 2018, 34 states and the District of Columbia permitted no-excuse early voting.[7][8][9]
Who was eligible for absentee voting?
- See also: Absentee voting
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:[10]
- Active military service
- Absence from town of residence during voting hours
- Illness or physical disability
- Religious beliefs preclude secular activity on Election Day
- 'Required performance of duties as a primary, referendum or election official at a polling place' other than a voter's own 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.[11]

Teamsters Joint Council 25’s Executive Board voted unanimously to endorse JB Pritzker and Juliana Stratton for Governor and Lt. Governor, respectively, in the upcoming General Election on November 6, 2018.
“J.B. Pritzker has demonstrated a strong commitment to the labor movement, and as a champion of progressive solutions to the problems we face in Illinois – problems created by Bruce Rauner and his war on the labor movement,” said Joint Council 25 President Terrence J. Hancock.
“We need a Governor who will stand up for Illinois’ workers, who will fight for fair taxes so the middle class doesn’t have to bear the biggest burden,” said Hancock. “I know J.B. will work tirelessly to protect our middle class and to safeguard our rights to collectively bargain for fair wages and benefits.”
“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Teamsters Joint Council 25,” said Pritzker. “For over 100 years, the Teamsters have been a voice for working men and women in Illinois. That’s really what this election is all about – fighting to create good middle class jobs for all Illinoisans. That’s what the Teamsters and the labor movement fight for, and that’s what I will fight for as Governor.”
President Hancock urged locals to reach out to their members to make sure they support labor-friendly candidates this fall.
“We need to make sure that all of our locals are communicating to their members how important this election is. Pes 2012 mod 2017 liga 1. We need each and every one of our 100,000 members to turn out to vote for J.B. and for all of our endorsed candidates,” said Hancock. We need to go to every membership meeting, every worksite and even to our members’ front doors if we have to. This is our moment; this is when the middle class takes back our state.”
For information about any of these candidates, or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact Teamsters Joint Council 25 Director of Government Affairs Mike Ciaccio at 847-292-1225. Michael “Mick” Yauger honored with the Infantry St. Maurice Award

Brennan noted that opinion polls consistently show Connecticut voters are most concerned about the state's sluggish economy and job growth.
'The candidates we've endorsed understand Connecticut needs an environment where companies can compete, attract much-needed investment to our state, and drive economic growth and job creation,' he said.
'We urge voters to look beyond the rhetoric and vote for candidates who will help make Connecticut a true destination state—a place where companies want to invest and where people want to live, work, and raise a family.'
