Bill > HB06022

This bill proposes to amend section 9-140b of the general statutes to eliminate the use of drop boxes for returning absentee ballots. An absentee ballot is a method of voting that allows voters who cannot be physically present at a polling place on election day to cast their votes in advance, typically by mail or through other designated methods. Currently, many jurisdictions provide drop boxes as a convenient way for voters to return their absentee ballots outside of traditional mailing. By removing the option of drop boxes, the bill would require voters to return their absentee ballots through alternative methods, such as mailing them through the postal service or submitting them in person at designated election offices. The bill aims to change existing election procedures by restricting the ways in which voters can submit their absentee ballots, potentially impacting voter accessibility and convenience.
