Connecticut has become the latest state to delay its presidential primary because of the coronavirus outbreak. Gov. Ned Lamont says he has postponed the April 28 vote to June 2. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana and Ohio have also postponed their primaries.
Merrill said moving the primary date is a “good first step” toward insuring Connecticut voters can have a say in the selection of presidential candidates while ensuring they’re safe at the polls. She said it will also give local election officials more time to prepare.
Earlier this week, the presidents of associations representing local registrars of voters and town clerks sent letters to Merrill, asking her to call on Lamont to postpone the primary by using his authority under a recently enacted state emergency order.
