Governor Lamont Signs Legislation Making Absentee Ballots an Option for All Voters in Connecticut Elections

The legislation increases the penalty for harassing election workers from a misdemeanor to a felony on a second offense, including publicizing an election worker’s name or address with intent to intimidate. It also makes tampering with an absentee ballot drop box a class D felony. Additionally, it restricts federal law enforcement officials from being within 250 of a polling place or other sensitive election site without permission from state election officials or court order. The law empowers the attorney general to act against interference or intimidation.
