The Republican primary for state and local offices on Tuesday, August 14, will be one of the most important ones in years. Among the positions in play include: Governor (with five candidates running), Lieutenant Governor (including our own RTC-endorsed candidate, First Selectman Jayme Stevenson), and for those in District 3 (northwest Darien), State House District 147 (with Darien’s Marcy Minnick competing).
To see the full slate of Republican candidates competing for various offices in the CT primaries, please visit www.DarienRTC.com.
It’s important that all Republicans come out and vote. If you know you won’t be in town on August 14, absentee ballots are available now at the Town Clerk’s office. You can either go to the “Registrar of Voters” page on the Town’s website (http://www.darienct.gov) to obtain an application to mail in or you can appear in person at Town Hall. You must submit a written application for an absentee ballot before you can obtain a written ballot. Don’t wait until the last minute. Apply for your absentee ballot now.
Also, you must be registered with a political party to be eligible to vote in the primaries. If you’re registered as an “Unaffiliated” voter and would like to vote on August 14, you can change your registration up until noon on Monday, August 13, at the Registrar of Voters’ office at Town Hall.
Democracy needs our participation. Your vote counts. Be sure to exercise it this August 14.
