Various kinds of elections in Connecticut occur annually in each of the state's cities and towns, the exact type of which is dependent on the year.

That election marked the first time since the 1850s that no Republican represented Connecticut or any state in New England region in the House.

A registered Republican, for example, is only allowed to participate in Republican primaries, while a voter not affiliated with any political party (called an “unaffiliated” voter in the state) is not allowed to vote in any party primary.

The most recent constitutional amendment proposition was Question 1 in 2022 which allowed the legislature to create a period of early voting for elections in the state of Connecticut.

While there is no statewide initiative or referendums, many municipalities have some form of it for issues of local concern.

Additionally, five municipalities[15] afford voters the right to recall local elected public officials, a practice that does not extend to state offices.
