{news} 10/23 deadline for write-in candidates

[David Bedell]

October 23 is the deadline for write-in candidates to file with the Secretary of the State. In hopes of capturing some low-hanging fruit for the Green Party, I've asked Nick Cegelka to run for Constable in New Britain and Florence Vannoni to run for Constable in Redding. Occasionally the Democrats and Republicans do not nominate enough candidates to fill all available seats, in which case a write-in candidate can slip in. This is the case in Redding, and it may be worth contacting your town clerk to ask if there are any vacancies on the ballot. 

Since write-in candidates do not run on a party line, no party endorsement is necessary, but we have usually considered any candidate who is a registered Green to be one of our candidates. 

The form is quite simple and can be downloaded here: ED-622b Registration of Write-In Candidacy for November 6, 2007 Municipal Election http://www.sots.ct.gov/ElectionsServices/electforms/ed622b.pdf
