HB 6743 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE SECRETARY OF THE STATE AND VOTING RIGHTS OF UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS.

This bill requires Connecticut's Secretary of the State to create a statewide standardized policy enabling unhoused individuals and others without permanent residential addresses to register to vote and participate in elections. It directly affects people experiencing homelessness or housing instability who face barriers to voting due to lack of a fixed address. The policy would replace inconsistent local practices with uniform procedures for voter registration and ballot access across all municipalities. The legislation aims to ensure all residents can exercise voting rights regardless of housing status, as specified in the bill's stated purpose.
