Senate Bill No. 395 establishes a task force aimed at studying methods to achieve 100% voter participation in Connecticut by January 1, 2030, and enhancing civic engagement. The task force will consist of nine 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 implemented mandatory voting policies, assessing the needs of municipal officials for administering elections with full participation, and identifying necessary budgetary resources. The task force is required to submit a report with findings and recommendations, including potential legislation for funding municipal efforts to increase voter participation, by February 1, 2027.

Additionally, the bill authorizes municipalities to create pilot programs to promote the goal of achieving 100% voter participation, utilizing existing resources. These programs may include voter outreach and education campaigns, while adhering to state election laws. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and does not impose any fiscal impact on the state, although it may result in costs for municipalities depending on the number of pilot programs established.
