Early voting begins on Tuesday March 26 and early voting polling locations have finally been posted! Attention all eligible citizens who are unaffiliated, unregistered, or 17-years old who will turn 18 by November 5: you still have time to enroll with a party if you want to vote in that party's primary.

Thanks to the hard work of our leaders, members, voting rights allies around the state, and state legislators, there's a lot to look forward to this year: Early voting, the most comprehensive voting rights act in the country, a new presidential primary date, and a statewide referendum on absentee voting.

Gov. Ned Lamont said Wednesday that the State Bond Commission will vote next month to spend $25 million on new voting machines that are expected to be in place by the presidential election next year. Following Wednesday's announcement, Ann Reed, vice president for advocacy at the League of Women Voters, said the group was "thrilled" that the state would be getting new voting machines. "Old voting machines can sabotage an election, and we want to maintain Connecticut's dominance in pushing voting for everyone and making it safe and secure," she said.
