Connecticut state ballot questions
- Connecticut voters statewide will decide on the "No-Excuse Absentee Voting Amendment," which would allow any voter to request a mail-in ballot without requiring one of the existing reasons for requesting one. Under the current rule, Connecticut voters can only vote by mail-in ballot if they're: On active military service, will be absent from their town when voting is taking place, if they are ill or have a disability, of if they have religious reasons that would prevent them from going about voting on Election Day. In addition, if they are an election official in a different polling location on Election Day then where they are supposed to vote, they can also vote by mail on Election Day. This amendment would eliminate these requirements to get a mail-in ballot.
