S.B. 22, An Act Concerning Payment of Certain Fines Prior to the Restoration of Electoral Privileges

Restoring the right to vote for people who have been disenfranchised strengthens our democracy by increasing voter participation and helping formerly incarcerated people to reintegrate into society. As an organization that defends the right to vote and believes that enfranchisement is an incredibly important way for people to participate in America’s democracy, the ACLU-CT supports this bill, which would remove the condition that someone pay all fines that were charged along with their conviction before the state restores their right to vote.
