The proposed bill establishes a task force aimed at studying methods to achieve 100% voter participation in Connecticut by January 1, 2030, and to enhance civic engagement within the state. The task force will consist of 11 members, including the Secretary of the State and various appointees from legislative leaders and the Governor. It is tasked with examining the experiences of jurisdictions that have mandated voting as a civic duty, identifying the needs of municipal officials in administering elections with full participation, and assessing the budgetary resources required to meet these goals. The task force is required to submit a report with findings and recommendations, including potential legislation for funding or resources to municipalities, by February 1, 2026, and will dissolve upon submission of this report.

Additionally, the bill allows municipalities to create pilot programs to promote the goal of achieving 100% voter participation, utilizing existing resources. These programs may include initiatives to enhance civic engagement, such as voter outreach and education campaigns, while adhering to state election laws. The effective date for the bill is set for July 1, 2025. Notably, the bill includes new legal language to establish the task force and pilot programs, while clarifying the language regarding the goal of achieving voter participation.
