Early voting makes voting more accessible to all voters, especially those who face barriers getting to the polls.

We have significant concerns with House Bill 5372 because of the its failure to reduce the role of policing in our communities, particularly with regard to some of our most vulnerable residents when they are in need of medical care for a mental health crisis.

Deceptive interrogation tactics used by police are unconscionable, expensive, and most harm the people whom our state has made most vulnerable: people of color, youth, and people with mental or physical disabilities. S.B. 306 would take critical steps toward ending deceptive police interrogations.

We are all affected by voter suppression, because democracy is debased when the vote is not accessible for everyone.

As an organization committed to the liberties guaranteed by our Constitution, the ACLU-CT fully supports a fair voting system to uphold the foundational cornerstone of our democracy: the right to vote.

Voting is the linchpin right in a representative democracy: it is through this right that all others are protected and secured.

A free and fair voting system upholds the foundational cornerstone of our democracy: the right to vote.
