2024 PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE PRIMARY DEADLINES

Some important deadlines are fast approaching for CT residents who want to participate.  To vote in the April 2, 2024, primary voters must be registered with a political party.  The deadline to switch your party registration to a different party to vote in the primary is 90 days before or January 2, 2024.

It is important for voters to understand how the process works and not lose out on the opportunity to participate because of missing important deadlines.  We want to encourage voters to check their voter registration to make sure they are ready to vote in April.   The Presidential Preference Primary is a primary election when members of a political party select their party’s candidate for president.  Only registered members of a political party that is nominating a presidential candidate can vote in this election.  

If voters are not registered with a party, in CT, they are known as “unaffiliated” voters and may register with a party by March 15, 2024, to participate in the Presidential Preference Primary.
