BYSIEWICZ: A TOTAL OF 44 STATE AND
FEDERAL PRIMARIES ON CONNECTICUT
BALLOT IN 2010
SECRETARY OF THE STATE SENDS NOTICE OF PRIMARIES TO TOWN CLERKS
STATEWIDE

HARTFORD: Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz today officially notified town clerks
across Connecticut of a total of 44 primaries to be held on August 10th, 2010. Primaries
will be held for Republican and Democratic voters for the offices of Governor, Senator,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, Secretary of the State, Congress,
General Assembly, Judge of Probate. Some communities will also have primaries for
Registrar of Voters. When arriving at the polls, Republicans will be able to cast ballots in
21 primaries, while Democrats can vote in 23 primaries. A full list of all primaries on the
ballot for August 10, 2010 can be found below.

“Now that the petitioning process is complete, I want to make sure voters and local
elections officials are fully aware of all the primaries taking place on August 10th,” said
Secretary Bysiewicz. “Across the state, numerous primaries will be held on both sides of
the aisle. Critical issues such as the economy, the environment and our state budget need
to be addressed, so I am urging voters to show up at their polling places and cast ballots
in the August 10th primaries to choose the general election candidates for November. Our
nearly 900,000 unaffiliated voters in Connecticut should also know that they too can have
their voices heard in the primaries by enrolling with the Democratic or Republican
party.”

Secretary Bysiewicz is reminding Connecticut citizens that the deadline to register to vote
by mail in August 5, 2010. Voting age citizens and 17 year-olds who will turn 18 by the
general election can also register in-person at town offices until Monday, August 9th at
12:00 p.m. Unaffiliated voters face those same deadlines if they wish to enroll with a
party in order to vote in the primaries. Polls will be open on Primary Day August 10th
from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
