The latest news in Connecticut election reform circles comes from a really interesting article by New Haven Independent by Paul Bass:

Democracts “argued for the passage of Senate Bill 24, which would direct Connecticut to register people automatically when they conduct transactions at motor vehicle offices and state social services offices.

Connecticut currently has a “motor voter” law under which people have the option of registering to vote when they renew licenses or register vehicles. The new law would automatically register those folks — and include social services recipients, many of whom might not own vehicles — while allowing them to opt out.

The law would aim to include 250,000 eligible voters in the state who currently are not registered.”
