Reply to comment by CANOODLING_SOCIOPATH in Connecticut to decide on early voting in November referendum by jr_reddit

Right, and there’s nothing wrong with that. No excuse absentee voting would accomplish the same thing and should also be considered.

Allowing No Excuse Absentee Ballots will likely be on the ballot in 2024, assuming that Democrats retain control of the CT General Assembly.

To get something on the ballot it needs to be passed by the CT General Assembly twice in 4 years, and the passed a measure to allow no-excuse absentee voting in 2021 and Democrats have said they will do it again in 2023, in time for the 2024 election.

Excellent.

The way we do things in this state is backwards sometimes. Why in the world would it have to be voted on twice? Or at all? The procedure to get questions on the ballot should be simplified.
