Press Release from the Branford Republican Party

The Branford Republicans are announcing a primary election for the 5th District Representative Town Meeting race. This primary will be held at Indian Neck School, inviting all registered Republicans to exercise their voting rights and participate in shaping the future of the district.

Scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 12, the primary will take place between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. at Indian Neck School, 12 Melrose Avenue.

A primary election is triggered when an individual seeks to challenge the selections made by the Republican Town Committee. This requires petitioning for the opportunity. Notably, one individual has successfully met the petitioning requirements, leading to the initiation of this primary.

When voters arrive at the polling booths, they will encounter a ballot featuring two distinct sections:

Row A: This section showcases the candidates endorsed by the Republican Town Committee, including Donald Conklin, Dennis Flanigan, Ray Ingraham, and Kyle Nelson.

Row B: Here, voters will find the challenging candidate, Carolyn Sires, who is contesting the choices put forth by the Republican Town Committee.

For those unable to attend the voting location in person, an option for absentee voting is available. Starting Aug. 22, registered Republicans meeting specific criteria can request absentee ballots. To be eligible, voters must meet the following conditions: have a valid reason for absentee voting; be a registered voter within the state of Connecticut; possess a valid Connecticut drivers license, with a recorded signature at the Department of Motor Vehicles; specifically, for this primary, voters must be registered Republicans residing in the 5th District.

An online absentee ballot application is accessible for eligible voters at oabr-sots.ct.gov/ streamlining the process for those meeting the specified criteria.

Additionally, a printable absentee ballot application form can be downloaded from https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/SOTS/ElectionServices/AB-Application/AB_Application_20220922/ED-3-Rev-English-20220922
