Bill > HB06756

This bill proposes to change existing election law by eliminating same-day election registration and establishing a new voter registration deadline. Specifically, the bill would require that potential voters must register to vote at least five days before an election, effectively ending the previous practice of allowing citizens to register and vote on the same day. This change means that individuals who want to participate in an upcoming election will need to complete their voter registration process well in advance of Election Day, potentially making it more challenging for some people to exercise their voting rights. The bill aims to modify title 9 of the general statutes to implement this new registration requirement, which could impact voter accessibility and participation, particularly for those who may have difficulty registering ahead of time due to work schedules, transportation issues, or other logistical challenges.
