Sec. 9-419. Failure of party to endorse; town committee members. If within
the time specified in section 9-391, a party has failed, with respect to the election of
town committee members, to certify to the clerk of the municipality names of persons as
party-endorsed candidates equal in number to the number of positions as town committee
members to be filled, and if within the time specified in section 9-405, a candidacy or
candidacies for election as town committee members are filed in conformity with the
provisions of sections 9-400 to 9-414, inclusive, by a number of persons equal to at least
twenty-five per cent of the number of town committee members to be elected by such
party either in the municipality or in the political subdivision, as the case may be, such
number being not more than the number of positions for which the town committee has
failed to certify names, no primary shall be held by such party for the election of town
committee members, and each of the party-endorsed candidates and each of the persons
filing such candidacies shall be deemed to have been lawfully elected as town committee
members at the times specified in section 9-392; provided the number of positions to
be filled shall be equal to the maximum number of town committee members for the
town or political subdivision, as the case may be, as specified in the rules of such party
whenever such rules specify a minimum and maximum number.
