The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1120, seeks to amend section 9-19j of the general statutes to establish a requirement for provisional ballots for certain same-day election registration applicants during elections where federal offices are on the ballot. Specifically, the bill stipulates that if registrars of voters find that an applicant has not been previously registered as an elector in any town within the state, that applicant will be provided a provisional ballot to vote for federal offices only.

Additionally, the bill mandates that all provisional ballots cast under these circumstances must be segregated for auditing purposes. This is to ensure that no voter who casts a provisional ballot has also voted in another state during the same election. The intent of the bill is to enhance the integrity of the electoral process by confirming that same-day registrants have not participated in multiple states' elections.
