There were two ballot measures in Connecticut.
The constitutional convention measure failed. Every 20 years, the electorate votes on whether a convention should be held. It was voted down in 1986 and again this year (the vote that should have been held in 2006 was pushed off to this year). There was a lot of concern that gay marriage would be constitutionally banned and that abortion rights would take a beating if the convention took place.
The other measure allows 17-year-olds to vote in primaries as long as they would be 18 by the date of the general election. That measure passed.
