Description | HARTFORD — A new law that's just taken effect will do away with an obscure Connecticut provision — which was used only once in the past 50 years — to decide a tie vote in some party primaries by the flip of a coin.
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz said Monday that the new law will require that, in the case of a tie vote in a primary for state, district, municipal or town committee nominations, a new primary election be held three weeks after the initial vote. |
