March 2026 Legislative Updates: Please Support No-Excuse Absentee Voting Bill; Ranked Choice Voting Passes out of Committee; Universal Voting Study Bill

We just wanted to provide you with a few updates about important elections- and voting-related legislation:

* SB 386, Ranked Choice Voting legislation that we support, passed out of committee this week. It now goes to the floor of the Senate for a possible vote. Thanks to everyone who testified in support of this pro-voter reform.

* This week the Government Administration and Elections (GAE) committee is holding a public hearing on several important bills, including No-Excuse Absentee Voting (HB 5001) that was constitutionally authorized by voters in November 2024, but we have been waiting for the legislature to pass legislation that would create an actual statutory framework for this type of voting.

As with other voting rights advocates, this is our major priority for this legislative session. While it is too late to sign up to testify in person, we strongly urge you to support the bill with written testimony to the GAE Committee. => Watch the hearing live on YouTube or catch it on demand on CT-N. => Submit written testimony in support of legislation that builds on HB 5001 (written testimony doesn't have the same deadline as live testimony). Feel free to contact us if you would like to see some talking points. * We also support SB 395: An Act Studying Efforts to Increase Voter Participation and Authorizing Municipal Pilot Programs to Promote Such Efforts, a bill that would create a task force or study committee to look at "universal voting" and other ways to increase turnout.

Taking more from CT residents is going to make our state even more unaffordable and drive out job creators when we should be laser focused on growing jobs and opportunity. It will leave behind the working and middle class to pick up the tab at a time when they are already struggling. All CT Republicans on the Finance Committee voted AGAINST these tax proposals today. The Democrats’ plan includes the following taxes: 🛒A mileage tax on trucks that will increase costs of groceries and home heating oil ($45 million in FY23 and $90 million in FY 24) 🏠Cancels property tax relief ($53 million tax increase annually in FY 22 and FY 23) 💵Cancels tax relief for job creators, 10% corporate tax surcharge ($80 million in FY 22, and $50 million annually in FY 23 and FY 24) 🛍A new $500 million annual consumption tax described by Democrats as a way to increase the sales tax rate on higher income residents 💳Imposes a convenience fee for credit/debit card use ($5 million annually in FY 23 and FY 24) 🎰New taxes related to gaming ($30.5 million in FY 22, $43.1 million in FY 23, $58.8 million in FY 24) 💻New social media advertising tax ($150 million in FY 22, $162 million in FY 23, $175 million in FY 24) 💰New 2% surcharge on capital gains ($262 million annually) 💸New taxes related to cannabis legalization ($11.1 million in FY 22, 39.5 million in FY 23, 73.1 million in FY 24) #ctbudget #cttaxes #ctleg #ctpolitics #ctgop #repost @ctsenategop 😔 When you live in a state that hates you this is how they tax you... #2024move #escape #run @ctsenatedems are 🗑️ @cthousedems are 🗑️ https://www.instagram.com/p/COGM6kCAbXj/?igshid=rjqriuuv44ui
