Please submit testimony for SB 17! The League of Women Voters of Connecticut supports funding to municipalities to cover their costs for early voting, as the requirements placed on towns for early voting caused unfunded mandates in many locations in 2024. But we can do better - municipalities should receive funds to support early voting and ensure that our elections are accessible to all Connecticut voters.

Voters deserve clear information when asked to vote on major changes in their town or city government. Please join us in submitting written testimony before March 7 in favor of Raised House Bill 7125. And if you ever voted on a ballot question about changing your town or city charter that used vague or confusing language, please mention it in your testimony.

Contact Speaker of the House Matt Ritter and ask him to support funding for Early Voting. Many worked for a decade to pass Early Voting in Connecticut, a landmark event that the Governor said would "improve the ability of voters to cast their ballots and enable more people to participate in our democracy". However without funding and support this hard fought right may not succeed.

Contact your legislators and urge them to support funding for Early Voting implementation and the No Excuse Absentee Ballot referendum. Many worked for a decade to pass Early Voting in Connecticut, a landmark event that the Governor said would "improve the ability of voters to cast their ballots and enable more people to participate in our democracy". However without funding and support this hard fought right may not succeed.
