The Democratic primary in Connecticut is not a winner-take-all contest. Connecticut will send a total of 70 delegates to the nominating convention in July; the majority of them are rank and file members of the party who pledge their support to a particular candidate, not superdelegates. Democratic voters can apply for those slots, Appleby said. "Here at the Connecticut Democratic Party, we have taken steps to make the process of applying to be a delegate accessible to all registered Democrats,'' he said.
