Time Range For Action Alert:
May 21 2020 to Jun 08 2020In light of Governor Lamont’s Executive Order: Safe Voting During the Statewide Primary, which extends the right to vote by absentee ballot in the August 11th Primary for fear of “sickness of COVID-19”, the Legislature needs to meet soon - preferably in June. Executive order is not sufficient.
The Legislature needs to extend Safe Voting During the Statewide Primary into Safe Voting During the November 3rd, 2020 Election by legislative action. Since no federally approved COVID-19 vaccine could be widely available by November 3, the legislature needs to affirm the use of absentee ballots by voters who fear bad health outcomes if voting in-person. Voters’ health and our democracy demand no less.
What YOU can do today:
1: Call, write, or speak directly with your Senator and House member about our need for them to meet in a special session. Not sure who represents you? CLICK HERE to find out.
