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 and consistency, thereby improving the overall integrity and efficiency of the voting system. The proposed changes are intended to streamline the absentee ballot counting process and facilitate communication between election officials and voters regarding any necessary corrections to ballot submissions.
