CT Gen Stat § 9-54 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 9 - Elections|Chapter 143 - Electors: Qualifications and Admission|Section 9-54 - Compilation and maintenance of enrollment lists and list of unaffiliated electors.

 The registrars of voters shall compile separate lists of all qualified electors making application for enrollment according to the declared political preference of such electors. Before each primary at which unaffiliated electors are authorized to vote, under section 9-431, the registrars of voters shall also compile a list of unaffiliated electors which shall be a component of the official checklist to be used at such primary. In those towns having cities or boroughs within, and not coterminous with, their limits, the registrars of voters shall also prepare such lists for use in such cities or boroughs; and when towns, cities or boroughs are divided into wards or voting districts, the registrars shall also prepare such lists for such wards or voting districts. Any town, city, consolidated town and city, or consolidated town and borough may, by vote of its legislative body, require the registrars of voters to designate the party affiliation, if any, of each elector on the registry list with the name of such elector, and, if it is so voted, may provide for the continuance or discontinuance of separate enrollment lists, except as provided in section 9-55. Whenever an elector's name has been removed from the registry list or transferred upon the registry list because of a change of address within the municipality, pursuant to section 9-35, such name shall also, at the same time, be removed from or transferred upon the enrollment list or upon the list of unaffiliated electors, if applicable. In all municipalities, when a transfer of enrollment between separate lists of the same political party is made because of the removal of an elector from one voting district or ward to another voting district or ward in the same municipality, the registrars of voters shall transfer the name of such elector from the list on which it appears to the enrollment list of the same political party in the voting district or ward to which such elector has removed unless such elector has made application for erasure or transfer of enrollment to the list of another party. All such enrollment lists and lists of unaffiliated electors shall be arranged in the manner provided by section 9-35 for the arrangement of registry lists in such town except as modified by sections 9-51 to 9-65, inclusive.(1949 Rev., S. 1173; 1953, S. 555d; 1957, P.A. 442, S. 5; 1971, P.A. 685, S. 2; 1972, P.A. 26; P.A. 77-298, S. 5; P.A. 78-153, S. 28, 32; P.A. 83-475, S. 10, 43; P.A. 87-509, S. 3, 24; P.A. 95-171, S. 5, 14; P.A. 11-173, S. 31.)History: 1971 act added provision authorizing legislative body to vote discontinue maintenance of separate enrollment lists and to require registrars to designate party affiliation on registry lists, added authority for registrars to make changes and corrections at any time except within 5 days before a primary, caucus or convention and changed references to enrollment sessions for purposes of making changes and corrections to the making of the change itself; 1972 act amended provision for action by legislative body so that in addition to authority to require registrars to designate party affiliation on the registry list, such body may vote for continuance or discontinuance of separate enrollment lists; P.A. 77-298 changed period registrars may not make changes and corrections before a primary, caucus or convention from 5 to 14 days; P.A. 78-153 changed 14 days to 1 day before a caucus or convention; P.A. 83-475 amended section to facilitate changes of address within a municipality; P.A. 87-509 added provisions requiring registrars to compile list of unaffiliated electors and added reference to Sec. 9-55; P.A. 95-171 added “two” re municipalities divided into voting districts, effective January 8, 1997; P.A. 11-173 deleted language re towns with 2 voting districts that elect registrars for each district and made technical changes, effective July 13, 2011.Cited. 144 C. 1.
