Voting is a foundation of democracy, a right through which we can protect and preserve our other rights. The ACLU-CT strongly supports measures to ensure equal access to the ballot box, such as early voting and the Connecticut Voting Rights Act. Without full funding for equitable early voting in Connecticut, an early voting plan is meaningless. Connecticut voters have spoken, and early voting is extremely popular and necessary. The CTVRA is an opportunity for Connecticut to become a national leader in voting
rights and promoting access to democracy. We fully support funding both as voting is a foundation of democracy.
