Coverage boundary: This page covers only contests decided by all Connecticut voters. It excludes U.S. House, General Assembly, probate judge, registrar, municipal, district, and local contests. The 10-choice count treats a candidate or ticket as one choice even when the same name appears on several party lines; the official sample ballots contain 19 statewide party-line entries. Registered write-in candidates are not yet final because the October 5, 2026, 4 p.m. filing deadline had not passed when this guide was checked. Candidate order can vary by ballot style.
