Public Statement

This Election Day—November 8, 2022—Connecticut voters have the power to make early voting possible in future elections. Right now, Connecticut is one of only four states that do not offer early, in-person voting for all eligible voters; however, if this amendment passes, the legislature will be able to change that.
This question will be on the ballot: “Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to provide for early voting?” Bringing early voting to Connecticut is a practical way to improve access to the democratic process for everyone.
