Understanding the Absentee Voting Ballot Question
- This question will be on your ballot in Connecticut this fall: “Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to allow each voter to vote by absentee ballot?”
- By voting YES to this question, you could make voting in Connecticut more accessible and inclusive for all eligible voters looking to make their voice heard.
- Your “YES” vote would not make immediate change. Instead, it would allow our state legislature to change the Connecticut Constitution to allow any voter to use an absentee ballot without needing an excuse. This change will make voting easier and more accessible for everyone in our community, ensuring that all voices can be heard and that democracy works for all of us.
