"CT: No Exit Polls Today"

Mystery Pollster:

The Note also passes along this helpful information for those who plan to follow the returns:

The Connecticut Legislation and Elections website (LINK and LINK)will be updated continually, as soon as information comes in. The state is using a brand new system, which may or may not work. Should the system not work, officials are prepared with a spreadsheet and the site should be updated at roughly fifteen minute intervals with results.

Lever machines will dominate in today's primary, with a smattering of optical scan voting places. And here is a chart, courtesy of the excellent folks at the AP, detailing the timing of the reporting of results on election night in 2004 to use as a guide for tonight.

First Reports from Counties: 8:35 pm ET (5:35 pm PT)

20% of Precincts Statewide by: 10:00 pm ET (7:00 pm PT)

90% of Precincts Statewide by: 1:01 am ET (10:01 pm PT)(Wednesday)

100% of Precincts Statewide by: 9:44 am ET (6:44 am PT)(Wednesday)
