The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6743, aims to amend title 9 of the general statutes to enhance voting rights for unhoused individuals and those without permanent residential addresses. Specifically, it mandates that the Secretary of the State develop a state-wide standardized policy that enables these individuals to register to vote and participate in primaries and elections.

The bill emphasizes the importance of ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their housing status, have the opportunity to exercise their voting rights. By establishing a clear and uniform policy, the legislation seeks to remove barriers that may prevent unhoused individuals from engaging in the electoral process, thereby promoting inclusivity and representation in the democratic system.
