HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut voters who are registered with one party but want to vote in a different party’s presidential primary are facing a key deadline.

Connecticut’s Democratic and Republican presidential primary elections are scheduled for April 28.

There are currently 2,192,828 active voters registered in Connecticut. Of those, 895,218 are registered as unaffiliated voters, 803,802 are registered Democrats, 459,403 are registered Republicans and 34,405 are registered in some other party.
