Voters wishing to switch parties have until May 15

For voters and candidates alike, some significant dates on the 2024 election calendar are approaching.
The filing period for municipal, county, state and federal offices that will appear on the Aug. 20 primary election ballot opens Thursday, May 16 and closes at 5 p.m. Friday, May 31.
Candidates for municipal office may file at town hall, county candidates may file at the courthouse and state and federal candidates may do so with the Secretary of State’s office.
If you did not vote in the 2022 general election, you may register in advance with any municipal clerk or the county clerk, or at the polls on election day.
The big change this year is that voters who would like to change their party affiliation must do so before 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 15. No party affiliation changes will be accepted between May 16 and the primary election. To do so, contact either a municipal clerk or the county clerk.
