TO ALL TOWN CLERKS
Subject: Justices of the Peace
ED-134
In accordance with Section 51-95 of the General Statutes, we are enclosing the prescribed form of certificate (ED134) for you to list the names and addresses of the qualified Justices of the Peace. Kindly list these names
alphabetically, and double space between names. This form may be reproduced if additional space is needed.
Please note that Section 51-95 requires that you set forth the names as they appear on the registry list of your
town. On or before January 15th you must complete this certificate and list only the names and addresses
of the Justices of the Peace who qualified by taking the official oath of office on or before
January 2, 2001. In the third column of Form ED-134, list the party which nominated the justice or “by Town
Clerk” if the justice is an unaffiliated elector or minor party member that made application to the Town Clerk.
SIGNATURE CARDS
You may order a supply of the signature cards for Justices of the Peace as required by Section 51-95 by
completing the order form below. In accordance with that provision of the law, you must deliver or send such
signature card to each nominated Justice of the Peace within the town. (You may also order a supply of Justice
of the Peace Manuals.)
May we suggest that you remind each Justice of the Peace that in order to qualify, he or she must, on or before
January 2, 2001, take the official oath and furnish to you his signature on the enclosed blue card (ED-139) which
is to be retained by you. Additionally, unless the official oath is administered by the town clerk, the officer who
administers it shall transmit a certificate of the taking of the oath to the clerk of the town in which the Justice of
the Peace was appointed.
OBSOLETE FORMS
Please keep in mind that you are no longer required to furnish the Superior Courts with any information pertinent
to Justices of the Peace (ED-135, ED-135a and ED-138) and the Secretary of the State is no longer to receive a
white (ED-137) signature card.
CERTIFICATE OF QUALIFICATION
Within thirty days after the fifteenth day of January following the appointment of a Justice of the Peace, and
provided the oath of office has been taken and the signature card has been received by the town Clerk, the town
clerk shall issue to each Justice a certificate of qualification indicating his/her name, address, term of office and
a statement that s/he is qualified to act as Justice of the Peace. A sample of such form is enclosed.
VACANCIES
The process for filling vacancies for the Republican and Democratic parties is set forth in section 9-184 of the
General Statues. However, Section 9-184c provides that vacancies for “Other” Justices (unaffiliated or minor
parties) may be filled only if a lottery was held due to an excess of applications submitted during the August 1 st
through November 1st period. Enclosed you will find a copy of the forms needed to be filed with this office for
filling vacancies (ED-134a and ED-638c). These forms may be photocopied or sent to you upon request.
If you have any questions regarding the above, feel free to contact us at (860) 509-6100.
