The Secretary of the State’s Office has filed a complaint to state election officials over allegations that absentee ballots applications were illegally.
Absentee ballots became available Tuesday for the closely watched second mayoral primary in Bridgeport, where voters will once again be asked to select a Democratic candidate in a court-ordered Jan. 23 election.
The state is assigning two election monitors to oversee the shortened absentee ballot application process prior to a court-ordered second Democratic primary between Mayor Joe Ganim and challenger John Gomes next month.
Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas has announced efforts to ensure the upcoming Bridgeport Democratic mayoralty primary does not repeat the problems that resulted in a court-ordered do-over of the vote.
