The governor plans to sign an executive order that will push back the date of the state’s presidential primary for a second time.
The election, which was originally scheduled for April 28, will now be held on Aug. 11 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor’s office said. The governor had previously moved the date to June 2.
The move sets the presidential primary for the same date as primary elections scheduled in Connecticut for federal, state, and local offices.
