The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6756, seeks to amend Title 9 of the general statutes by eliminating same-day election registration. This change would require voters to register at least five days prior to an election, establishing a clear deadline for voter registration.
Specifically, the bill introduces the provision that the fifth day prior to an election shall be the last day for a person to be admitted as an elector for voting purposes. Concurrently, it removes the option for same-day registration, thereby tightening the voter registration process and ensuring that all voters are registered in advance of election day. The intent of the bill is to streamline the registration process and enhance the integrity of the electoral system.
