HB 5321 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE ELECTION OF STATE'S ATTORNEYS.

HB 5321 would require state's attorneys in each judicial district to be elected by voters residing in that district, starting with the 2026 state election. Subsequent elections would occur every four years, with elected officials serving four-year terms beginning January 1 after each election. This bill directly affects voters in each judicial district and state's attorneys, changing their selection from appointment to election. The key provision sets a clear schedule for these elections and terms, replacing the current selection method.
