Early Voting
Early Voting measures that are being considered by the legislature are unfunded.
Common Cause CT initiated a call-in to Governor Lamont last month. You can still do this: Call the Governor, 860-566-4840, and ask him to fully fund legislation that creates a fair and accessible Early Voting system in time for the 2023 municipal election cycle.
Here’s an idea of what to say: "Hi, this is [YOUR NAME], and I’m calling Governor Lamont from [YOUR TOWN] to urge him to fully fund legislation to make Early Voting fair and accessible. Thank you, Governor Lamont."
Common Cause believes that Connecticut voters deserve:
--a funded requirement that cities above 50,000 people provide multiple early voting locations
--a funded option for all other towns to provide multiple early voting locations
funding to educate voters on where and how to vote early
--at least two weeks of Early Voting with weekend and evening hours
