Amadasun v. Armstrong, Town Clerk of South Windsor

Summary

The court held that the town clerk's decision to apply newly approved charter provisions when determining which candidates won the municipal election was a ruling of an election official subject to expedited election-contest review. Because that decision required interpretation of the charter and directly affected the reported election results, the plaintiff was statutorily aggrieved and the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction. The court reversed the dismissal and remanded for further proceedings.
