You will make a big impact by giving your written or virtual testimony to this coming Friday’s (March 4th, 2022) virtual legislative public hearing on ensuring all eligible Connecticut voters are still able to vote by absentee ballot this year.

As states across the country attempt to roll back voting rights and protections, Connecticut must lead the way in protecting the right to vote. But Connecticut has a lot of work to do – as the Center for Public Integrity recently observed, Connecticut has among the most restrictive voting laws outside of the south. Communities of color in Connecticut routinely face long lines and other obstacles when voting. It’s past time we correct these issues and ensure that voters of color, and indeed all voters, are free from voter suppression and intimidation.
