Connecticut SB00393 modifies special election procedures for vacancies due to the death of elected officials.

Connecticut SB00393 revises the process for special elections to fill vacancies in elective offices caused by the death of the officeholder. The bill mandates that the Governor must wait at least seven days before issuing writs of election to fill such vacancies. If the vacancy occurs between the 125th and 63rd day before a regular state or municipal election, the election will be held on the day of that regular election. The bill also specifies that elections cannot be held on Saturdays or Sundays.
