The proposed resolution seeks to amend the Connecticut State Constitution to modify the legislative term of office for state senators and representatives. Under the amendment, general elections for members of the General Assembly would occur in the 2nd, 6th, and 10th years following the decennial census, with legislators elected in the 10th year serving a two-year term, while those elected in the other years would serve four-year terms. This change aims to align legislative terms with the redistricting process that follows the census, thereby providing a more stable legislative framework.

If the resolution is approved by at least three-fourths of the General Assembly, it will be placed on the ballot for the November 2026 general election. The ballot will ask voters whether they support the amendment, which is designated as: "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to provide, after each decennial redistricting, for two four-year legislative terms and a two-year legislative term?" The resolution also outlines the fiscal implications, noting a one-time cost of $35,000 for printing the ballot if the amendment is approved in the 2026 election. If the required votes are not met, the cost may shift to the 2029 fiscal year.
