These parties were the Modern Whig Party, the American Party of South Carolina and the American Moderates Party. The American Moderates was a national start-up party, The Modern Whigs brought its state party structure and leaders, while the American Party of South Carolina was the first fully functional state party to join in the Alliance and did so as a founding member. The latest state party to join the Alliance is the Independent Party of Connecticut–IPC.

  • List of Registered Write-In Candidates Now Available
    DENISE W. MERRILL SECRETARY OF THE STATE CONNECTICUT For Immediate Release: For more information: October 28, 2016 Patrick Gallahue: (860) 509-6255 Cell: (860) 463-5939 - PRESS RELEASE - LIST OF REGISTERED WRITE-IN CANDIDATES NOW AVAILABLE HARTFORD: Secretary of the State Denise Merrill released the full list of write-in candidates today. The list reveals there are 20 candidates each for president and vice-president, two for U.S. Senate, 10 for U.S. Representative as well as a number of people vying for state offices. Write-in candidates must register with the Secretary of the State in order to have their votes counted on November 8. The deadline to register their candidacies—or provide consent if they were put forward by someone else—was October 25. Write-in candidates do not appear on the ballot but voting machines are programmed to accept votes for write-ins if they are registered with the Secretary of the State. Secretary Merrill said, “Democracy is about choices. We want to make sure everyone is aware of the options available to them on Election Day. The most important thing is that no matter which party or candidate you support, show up to vote on November 8.” On Election Day, November 8, 2016, polls will be open from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. for registered voters in Connecticut. Election Day registration is in effect, however, long lines are likely so voters are encouraged to arrive early. It is also important to note that Election Day registration is not available at polling places, but rather at a designated Election Day registration location in each town beginning at 6 a.m.
