State Elections Enforcement Commission

These CEP forms should only be filed by candidates after they have formed a candidate committee. To form a candidate committee, the candidate must file a Form 1 and Form 1A with SEEC. If you have questions about the order in which to submit these forms please contact your Elections Officer (860-256-2985).

SEEC Registration Forms


Electronic Registration Available to SEEC Committees


Committees registering with the Commission can and are recommended to complete and submit their registrations electronically through eCRIS. It ensures compliance with the ten-day registration window and avoids relying on the mail and/or a driving to our offices. Watch the video on how to register a new committee in eCRIS. The candidate, treasurer, and deputy treasurer, if applicable, use their eCRIS accounts and follow simple step-by-step instructions. If you do not already have an eCRIS account, you may set one up by going to the eCRIS homepage and selecting “Sign Up for eCRIS Account” under “How to get Started.”

All forms below, other than the SEEC Form 5, may be completed and submitted electronically through eCRIS.
