Party Nomination Meetings in July.
The major parties will nominate candidates for the Nov. 4 ballot during the week of July 15-22. If you are interested in seeking a major party endorsement or participating in the process: visit granbydems.org/ or email granbydemocrats@gmail.com; visit granbyrtc.com/ or email GranbyRTC@gmail.com
Is a primary possible?
If there is a candidate who did not win their major party endorsement in July, they can choose to petition for a chance on the Nov. 4 ballot in September. The candidate must successfully collect petition signatures from five percent of Granby’s enrolled party members. Should they be successful, the primary will be held on Sept. 9.
If there is a primary in September, June 9 is the last day to switch party to participate. Aug. 22 is the online and mail in cutoff date to register or to join a major party for new or unaffiliated voters.
