Governor Lamont Orders Special Elections To Complete the Terms of Six Retiring Probate Judges [[link removed]]
Posted on May 13, 2024
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he is ordering special elections to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 – the same date as the next general election – to complete the terms of six probate judges who will each be retiring over the course of the next year. Five of the six judges are reaching the state’s mandatory retirement age of 70 for judges.
The governor specifically chose to hold these special elections on the same date as the next general election because doing so will enable the municipalities in each of these probate districts to avoid any added costs of holding separate elections for this purpose.
Probate judges in Connecticut serve four-year terms. The terms of all six retiring judges expire on January 5, 2027. The winner of each special election will begin serving from the date of the current office holder’s retirement through the end of their current term.
The probate districts include:
Region No. 22 Probate District
Towns: Bethlehem, Oxford, Roxbury, Southbury, Washington, Watertown, Woodbury Current judge: Honorable Domenick N. Calabrese Expected retirement date: August 31, 2024
Fairfield Probate District
