HARTFORD, CT – State officials, elected leaders, and union representatives gathered Thursday to urge voters to approve a ballot measure this November that would take the first steps toward passing a constitutional amendment to allow no-excuse absentee ballot voting for all residents. The measure, which is a constitutional amendment, would authorize the state legislature to introduce a law for no-excuse absentee voting, thereby allowing any voter to request a mail-in ballot. Voters will choose “Yes” to support the constitutional amendment, and “No” to oppose it.
