You're probably right, but Connecticut is vague about this on their website. If you have a source that specifically says this, please let me know; otherwise, I'll try contacting them.

Title 9, Chapter 143, Sections 9-57 and 9-59. New and unaffiliated voters have until noon the day before the primary. Transfer of party from Libertarian to Republican or Democrat to Republican, has to be done 90 days prior.

Sec. 9-57. Application for enrollment by new elector at time of admission. Attachment of party privileges. Notwithstanding the provisions of any special act or charter to the contrary, whenever any person makes application for admission as an elector in person to an admitting official, he may, on an application for admission as an elector, make application for enrollment on the list of the political party of his preference. Any such elector who has so applied for enrollment shall, upon acquisition of electoral privileges, immediately be entitled to all the privileges of enrollment in the party named in his application, unless (1) he ceases to be an elector in the town or voting district in which he is entitled to vote, as the case may be, (2) he makes application for erasure or transfer or enrollment on the list of another party in accordance with the provisions of section 9-59, (3) he files his application for enrollment with the registrars of voters of his town of residence after twelve o'clock noon on the last business day before a primary, in which case he shall be entitled to the privileges of party enrollment immediately after the primary, or (4) he files his application for enrollment with the registrars of voters of his town of residence on the day of a caucus or convention, in which case he shall be entitled to the privileges of party enrollment immediately after the caucus or convention. The registrars of voters or assistant registrars shall add the names of all persons making such application to the enrollment list or supplementary enrollment list of the political party of each such applicant's preference, provided, if a caucus or convention is to be held, such registrars or assistant registrars shall prepare separate lists of such names according to party, on the day before such caucus or convention.

Sec. 9-59. Erasure or transfer of name. Any elector whose name appears on any enrollment list or who has made application for enrollment may, at any time, make a written application, on an application form for admission as an elector, which shall be signed by such elector, to either registrar for erasure of his name from such list or for transfer of his name to the enrollment list of another party. If an elector makes an application for erasure, his name shall be erased from said enrollment list and, if a municipality is having a primary in which unaffiliated electors are authorized to vote, under section 9-431, such elector's name shall be placed on the list of unaffiliated electors together with the date he is eligible to vote in a primary. If an elector makes an application for transfer, his name shall be transferred to the enrollment list of another party, together with the effective date of such transfer. Any elector whose name has been transferred from one enrollment list to another or who has applied for erasure or transfer of his name from an enrollment list shall not be entitled to participate or vote in a caucus or primary of any party, participate in the appointment of members to any board or commission that is political in nature, be appointed as a member of any board or commission that is political in nature or be entitled to the privileges accompanying enrollment in any party for a period of three months from the date of the filing of his application for transfer or for erasure. Any elector who removes his name from the registry list and from an enrollment list in accordance with the provisions of section 9-35b shall not be entitled to enroll in any political party or vote in any primary for three months after such removal. The registrars of voters shall state, on the notice of acceptance sent under sections 9-23g, 9-19b and 9-19e, the date enrollment privileges take effect, if delayed.

Fill out the voter registration form for him so that all he has to do is print, sign and mail the form.

Here is a pdf of Florida's form:

Semi-Open means that you only have to affiliate with the Republican party to be able to vote. It's only for states where you don't register with a political party when you register to vote. For example, in Hawaii, you can't register to vote as a Republican or Democrat. If you want to participate in the Republican Caucus in Hawaii, you have to affiliate with the Republican Party by signing a paper saying that you are a Republican. This means that it's open to anyone willing to sign that paper.

Semi-Closed means that you either have to be registered as a Republican or not registered with any political party. It's different from Closed where only registered Republicans can vote.

Does anyone know how to contact the following sites:

BlueRepublican.org
VotingRonPaul.com

There is a lot of wrong information regarding registration deadlines and those sites are being spread around on Facebook.

The biggest glaring mistake is that they say the deadline to register in Iowa is 12/24. They even say that date is confirmed. We all know you can register at the caucus on 1/3.
 
Please make sure you are properly registered to vote and aware of the deadlines for your state.
