Early Voting Proposal
Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney joined Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, fellow legislators, and advocates to announce a plan to seek a Constitutional Amendment that would allow Connecticut voters to cast their ballots prior to Election Day. “Throughout our history access to the ballot box has increased with progressive changes to our laws and Constitution,” said Senator Looney. “Connecticut should take the next step in expanding voter participation and enact early voting as so many other states have done. This expansion of enfranchisement will strengthen our democracy and encourage responsible citizenship.” (January 15, 2019)
