The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6473, seeks to amend title 9 of the general statutes to permit individuals who are currently incarcerated to register as electors and participate in voting. This legislative change aims to expand voting rights to a population that is typically disenfranchised due to their incarceration status.

The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly allows incarcerated individuals to vote, thereby removing any existing restrictions that prevent them from becoming electors. This initiative reflects a growing movement to enhance democratic participation and ensure that all citizens, regardless of their legal circumstances, have a voice in the electoral process.
