Norwich, like all Connecticut municipalities, uses partisan elections for its city elections. On the evening of October 23, the Republican Mayor, who is running for re-election on November 5, debated his Democratic and Libertarian opponents. The debate can be watched at this link.
Norwich is also electing six city council members. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are each running four nominees; the Libertarian Party has five nominees. One can see the Norwich ballot here.
Nonpartisan App.V. for all elected executive officers and all judges.
The LP has five nominees for city council, not six.
Norwich needs some better ballot designers. What a confusing design!
Thank you, Gregory. I fixed the post.
Just a slight grammatical note: the ballot instructions state “Vote for Any Six” for the City Council & School Board offices, based on a strict interpretation of that wording, a ballot where someone votes for less than 6 for either office would be void. The correct wording would be “Vote for Not More Than Six”
It looks like a ballot that would be used with one of those crappy lever machines.
