Connecticut has a closed presidential primary on April 26 for the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries. Brendan Cox, opinion page editor of The Bulletin of Norwich, has this column of advice for Connecticut independent voters. He is a registered independent himself. He points out that an independent who wants to vote in the more interesting presidential primary is free to wait until the day before the primary to join one of the two major parties. However, anyone who wants to join one of those parties as late as April 25 must do it in person at the town hall. Someone who uses the mail must make sure that the form arrives by April 21.
