Connecticut needs voting reforms

A resident drops an absentee ballot application into a box outside West Hartford Town Hall during the last election season.
Like 650,000 Connecticut residents, I voted by absentee ballot last November. Like me, these voters might be shocked to learn this method of voting is not available in future elections.
Connecticut has some of the most restrictive voting laws in the nation built into its Constitution. These restrict people to a single day of voting (the first Tuesday in November) and limit use of the absentee ballot option to people who are ill or out of town for work Few people can plan an illness and not everyone knows when they will be out of town for work.
