The 2024 short legislative session was a difficult one. The fiscal guardrails adopted by the General Assembly in the previous session prevented the passage of many bills with fiscal notes. Among the gains we made, the legislature allocated $1 million for Early Voting implementation, banned foreign contributions on state ballot referenda, and increased transparency in elections and protections for election workers.

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.

Early in-person voting will be available in Connecticut for the first time for the Presidential Preference Primaries on Tuesday, April 2. Early voting polling locations will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on Tuesday, March 26, Wednesday, March 27, Thursday, March 28, and Saturday, March 30. Things to keep in mind...

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.
