Connecticut Bill, Changing the Deadline for Qualified Minor Parties to Submit Names of Nominees from September to August, Fails to Pass

On June 7, the Connecticut legislature adjourned. HB 6908, which would have changed the deadline for a qualified minor party to submit the names of its nominees from 62 days before the general election, to the Friday after the second Tuesday in August, failed to pass. The same bill also moved the date of the presidential primaries from the fourth Tuesday in April to the first Tuesday in April. The bill had passed the House on June 2 but it didn’t get brought up in the Senate.

In Connecticut, qualified minor parties nominate by convention.
