If you voted in the CT Primary, take the 3 minute survey to let us know how it went and share with a friend! This information will be used in our work on voting advocacy and to update our voting information to address voters’ actual experience voting, particularly during the pandemic. We also hope that this information will help to improve the November election process in Connecticut.

We were dismayed to learn that the top elected officials of at least two towns (Vernon and Wallingford) have chosen to make their locked absentee ballot drop-boxes accessible only inside their Town Halls or only when Town Hall is staffed. Town election officials need to provide unfettered access to the process of voting by absentee ballot, including access to the absentee ballot drop-boxes 24/7.

Secretary of the State Denise Merrill held a press conference on May 5, 2020 announcing plans and changes, made after conferring with Town Clerks and Registrars, to make sure that Connecticut’s upcoming elections are “safe, secure and accessible to all voters”.

It is critical that our fall elections are carried out in a way that assures voters and election workers can participate safely and that affirms the public’s trust in the outcome.
