Voting is a fundamental right and all eligible voters should have the equal opportunity to exercise that right. We are dedicated to ensuring that our elections remain free, fair and accessible.
Connecticut is out of step with election reforms common in most other states. Due to the restrictive language in the State Constitution, we need to amend the State Constitution language in order to update our election laws. Contact your state legislators today and ask them to vote "YES" on the No-Excuse Absentee Voting (HJ 58) and Early Voting (HJ 59) Resolutions so that the voters can decide!
During the 2020 elections, Delawareans could vote in a variety of ways. We could go to the polls, vote absentee, or vote by mail. This made voting easy and actually increased voter turnout in Delaware by 7%.
“Speaking with one voice” is an important tenet of the League. The national League provides strategies and action policies to ensure a consistent message on national issues, and similarly state Leagues are responsible for a coherent state message. Neighboring local Leagues often collaborate to ensure regional issues are addressed uniformly.

It’s time to set the record straight: Voting in Connecticut is overwhelmingly safe and secure; it is administered by election professionals from both major parties. Connecticut voters turned out in record numbers for the November 2020 election, in part thanks to an executive order issued by the governor and affirmed by the legislature permitting any voter to vote by absentee ballot. But because of our state’s restrictive absentee ballot laws, this was only allowed under these special circumstances.
