It depends. Connecticut has partially closed primaries. Some states have partially closed primary systems that permit certain voters to participate while excluding others. Independent voters can participate in only a few of the partially closed systems.
In Connecticut, independents cannot vote in Democrat primaries, but they can vote in Republican primaries.
Connecticut makes it easy to register to vote. There is an online tool, paper application, in-person option, and automatic voter registration. Additionally, Connecticut offers election-day voter registration. Connecticut allows for 14 days of early voting but does not offer no-excuse absentee-by-mail voting. Those seeking to vote by mail must meet certain requirements. Connecticut operates a partially closed primary. Currently, registered Republicans and Democrats can only vote in their party’s primary. Independents wishing to participate in a party primary need to register as a partisan by close of business on the last business day before the election.
Yes, it can be. In some states, independent voters face barriers like closed primaries that exclude them unless they change their party registration each election. Others offer open primaries, allowing all voters to participate regardless of party. Some states make registration seamless with same-day options, while others require voters to plan weeks or even months ahead.
Navigating these challenges takes awareness and action—but that’s exactly why the Independent Center exists. We’re here to empower independent voters, break down barriers, and build a movement for real change. Join us and make your voice heard.
