Bill Summary

To limit to five days the period of early voting prior to an election, and to specify such days.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to modify existing election laws by restricting early voting to a specific five-day period immediately preceding an election. Under the proposed change, early voting would be limited to the Wednesday through Sunday before Election Day, effectively reducing the current early voting window. Early voting is a process that allows citizens to cast their ballots in person at designated polling locations before the official Election Day, providing greater flexibility for voters who may have scheduling conflicts or other constraints on the traditional election day. By condensing the early voting period to just five days, the bill aims to potentially streamline the voting process and potentially reduce the administrative burden on election officials. The bill would amend title 9 of the general statutes to implement this change, and it would apply to all elections covered under the existing early voting regulations.
