what's new in Connecticut voting since 2020
Great news, Connecticut! Your legislature took action in 2021 to expand voting access by making some 2020 emergency measures permanent and enacting new pro-voter provisions. The online absentee ballot request system and drop boxes are now permanent! One emergency provision which has expired is no-excuse absentee voting, which means that, like in elections prior to 2020, only some voters are able to vote absentee by mail. The new laws also require employers to provide two hours of unpaid time off on election day to vote, restore the right to vote to all those convicted of a felony immediately upon release, and creates an automatic voter registration system.
