Connecticut has finally launched an early, in-person voting system years after almost every other state in the country decided to offer a similar option to voters
For the first time, Connecticut has allowed people to cast ballots early, in person, ahead of an election, years after almost every other state in the country offered voters that option. Saturday marks the final day of early voting before Tuesday’s presidential primary and turnout so far has been light. After the first three days of voting — there was no early voting on Friday because of the Good Friday holiday — 13,476 voters out of more than 1.
There was resistance to change in the state known as the “Land of Steady Habits,' especially from Republicans who voiced concerns about removing what they consider voting safeguards and whether local voting officials had enough funding and staffing to provide early voting. Connecticut came close in 2014 to finally amending its constitution to grant the General Assembly the authority to eliminate restrictions on early voting and allow expanded eligibility for absentee ballots.
