The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 332, aims to amend title 9 of the general statutes to prohibit the unsolicited mailing, delivery, or provision of absentee ballot applications. The new legal language specifies that absentee ballot applications can only be provided to an elector upon their request, thereby ensuring that individuals must actively seek out these applications rather than receiving them without solicitation.

This legislative change is intended to streamline the absentee voting process and potentially reduce confusion or misuse of absentee ballot applications. By requiring a request from the elector, the bill seeks to enhance the integrity of the voting process and ensure that voters have control over their absentee ballot applications.
