early voting ballot question

10/8/2022

 
Picture
In the general election on November 8th, look for a referendum question on your ballot (it can be on the top, the bottom, the front or even the back of the ballot) that reads: "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to provide for early voting?"

Democrats, Republicans, and Independents from all parts of Connecticut support Early Voting. Why? Because making voting easier and more accessible means greater flexibility for us all. Early voting modernizes our elections in a safe, secure way to move Connecticut into the future. The League of Women Voters of Connecticut recommends a YES vote on this referendum question.
