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.

The decision is yours to make. Please vote!
