AN ACT CONCERNING THE DISCLOSURE OF ABSENTEE BALLOT APPLICATIONS.

SB 667 (2025) requires that all completed and signed absentee ballot applications become public records under Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This bill amends statutes 9-140 and 9-150b to mandate disclosure of these applications, making them accessible for public inspection. It directly affects voters who submit absentee ballot applications, as their completed forms would no longer remain confidential. The key provision changes the status of these applications from private to public records, aligning them with other documents subject to FOIA requests. This is a procedural change focused on transparency, not altering voting procedures or ballot secrecy.
