Primaries will be held in 21 cities and towns across the state Tuesday, including races for mayor in New Britain, New Haven and Hartford.
Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, the state's chief elections officer, is calling for voters to come out and have their say in the off-year election.
"This is where decisions are made about your local town,'' Merrill told reporters at the state Capitol in Hartford. "This is where people are doing things directly for you. ... The best way you can vote your concern is by voting on Tuesday.''
The Bridgeport Democratic mayoral primary has been delayed until Tuesday, September 27 following a court challenge in the race regarding access to the ballot. A Superior Court judge decided to push back the date of the primary by two weeks for mayor and all other contested Democratic races in the city.
"Nobody can remember a time where that has happened before,'' Merrill said.
