Bill > HB06743

This bill requires the Connecticut Secretary of the State to create a comprehensive, uniform policy that ensures unhoused individuals and people without permanent residential addresses can register to vote and participate in primary and general elections. The legislation aims to address potential barriers that individuals experiencing homelessness might face when trying to exercise their voting rights. By mandating a state-wide standardized policy, the bill seeks to provide clear guidelines for how unhoused individuals can establish their eligibility to vote, likely by creating alternative methods for proving residency or establishing a voting address. This approach recognizes that traditional residential address requirements can be challenging for people without stable housing and aims to remove bureaucratic obstacles that might prevent these citizens from participating in the democratic process.
