Read the letter sent by the CT Voting Rights Act Coalition to the Appropriations Committee. This landmark legislation would address discrimination against voters of color in Connecticut and immediately position this state as a national leader on protecting the right to vote. The CT Voting Rights Act(S.B. 1226) was approved and sent out of committee on Monday, May 15. The coalition will keep up the pressure until the bill is raised in the Senate.

A coalition of Early Voting advocates called the Make it Count Coalition, which includes Common Cause Connecticut, The Connecticut Project Action Fund, AARP, League of Women Voters of Connecticut, ACLU Connecticut, Shoreline Indivisible, Bridgeport Generation Now Votes, Connecticut Citizen Action Group and the SEIU State Council released a statement regarding Thursday's passage of H.B. 5004.
