The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 507, aims to amend title 9 of the general statutes concerning the absentee voting process. Key provisions of the bill include stipulating that absentee ballots may only be counted on the day of the election, ensuring uniformity in the processing of absentee ballots across all municipalities prior to election day, and permitting registrars of voters to reach out to electors to address issues with unsigned absentee ballot envelopes.

The bill seeks to enhance the absentee voting process by establishing clear guidelines for when ballots are counted and how they are processed, thereby promoting consistency and efficiency in the electoral system. Additionally, the ability for registrars to contact voters regarding unsigned envelopes aims to improve the integrity of absentee voting and ensure that more ballots are properly counted.
