Ballot Measure

​

Connecticut Question 1, the Allow for Early Voting Amendment, is on the ballot in Connecticut as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The amendment would amend the Connecticut State Constitution to allow the Connecticut General Assembly to pass laws to provide for early in-person voting. Currently, the state constitution does not allow for early voting, one of only five states that do not allow for early voting in some form.

The Sierra Club CT Executive Committee has endorsed the ballot measure, and
recommends a “yes” vote.
