Primaries will be held in Connecticut next month, August 9th.  Some towns will have longer ballots than others, but there are also some statewide positions where the party-endorsed candidate is being challenged.  Brookfield has posted sample ballots on the town's website.  On the Democratic side, there are races for state Treasurer and Secretary of the State.  On the Republican side, it's for Secretary of the State and U-S Senator.  Connecticut has a closed primary system, meaning only people registered with a particular party can vote in that party's primary.
