Petition for a Special Election
The Case for a Special Election
Fairfield faces a pivotal choice following the tragic loss of our First Selectman. The Board of Selectmen has not appointed a successor within the Charter’s 30-day window, meaning state law now gives a small group of party insiders the power to choose our next leader, unless we act.
Voters have the right to petition for a special election, but we only have until September 9th to gather enough signatures.
The people, not political insiders, should decide. Sign the petition. Choose democracy over political insiders.
Stand Up for Voter Choice. Sign the Special Election Petition.
To call for a special election, we must collect signatures from 5% of Fairfield’s registered voters within just 15 days. This requires a special petition, and we need your help to make it happen.
You can get involved by:
-
Circulating a petition among friends, neighbors, and colleagues
-
Helping at signature collection drives (locations to be announced)
-
Signing the petition yourself
Please note: signatures must be collected in the old-fashioned way, an actual signature on a paper petition form, not electronically.
If you’re willing to help collect signatures, or if you simply want to sign the petition, email us at fairfieldpetition@gmail.com for more information.
Every signature matters.
