Governor Lamont Orders Special Elections To Complete the Terms of Three Retiring Probate Judges [[link removed]]
Posted on July 1, 2025
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he is ordering special elections to be held on the same date as the next general election – Tuesday, November 4, 2025 – to complete the terms of three probate judges who will each be retiring over the course of the next year.
The governor is specifically choosing to hold these special elections on the same date as the next general election because doing so will enable each impacted municipality to avoid any added costs of holding separate elections for this purpose.
Probate judges in Connecticut serve four-year terms. The current terms of each of these retiring judges expire on January 5, 2027. The winners of these special elections will begin serving from the date of the current office holder’s retirement through the end of their current term.
The special elections will be held for the following districts:
West Haven Probate Court (Probate District 39)
Municipalities: West Haven Current judge: Honorable Mark DeGennaro Expected retirement date: January 30, 2026
Farmington Regional Probate Court (Probate District 10)
Municipalities: Burlington, Farmington, Plainville Current judge: Honorable Evelyn M. Daly Expected retirement date: April 19, 2026
Madison-Guilford Probate Court (Probate District 34)
Municipalities: Madison, Guilford Current judge: Honorable Peter M. Barrett Expected retirement date: July 2, 2026
