Endorsements

---

Endorsing is the process whereby party officials designate a person to be the candidate representing their party in a primary, and if no primary, in the general election. If you are the endorsed candidate for a public office such as senator in General Assembly or town council, you will be issued nomination papers and you must submit the required number of valid signatures in order to qualify to be on the ballot.

An asterisk * will appear next to the name of the endorsed candidate on the ballot.
