There is good progress being made towards early voting in Connecticut with plans underway to change the state’s Constitution. According to a really interesting article by Hartford Courant‘s MARK PAZNIOKAS:
A super majority in the House of Representatives voted Wednesday night for a resolution authorizing a referendum on amending the Connecticut Constitution to permit early voting, a convenience now permitted in most other states.
If the Senate concurs by a similar margin, voters will be asked in 2020 if they want to remove a constitutional prohibition on early voting. A Senate vote of less than 75 percent in favor would delay a referendum by at least two years.
Connecticut is one of 12 states without early voting at the polls and only one of three whose state constitutions currently bar it. In 2018, nearly 40 million Americans in 38 states and the District of Columbia went to the polls before election day.
