Connecticut ballots list a candidate once for each party that nominated them; Vote Book shows each person once with all their party lines.
New Canaan is split among several legislative districts (6 ballot versions), so you will see only one State Senate and one State House race; check yours at Connecticut voter registration lookup (Secretary of the State).
One candidate per seat on the list (write-ins may still be possible).
