NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — News 8’s anchor Darren Kramer and political correspondent Jodi Latina spoke with Secretary of the State Denise W. Merrill about the upcoming election and absentee ballots.
One of the main concerns on the minds of voters is the topic of absentee voting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Connecticut residents have been permitted to submit their votes via absentee ballot. In previous elections, only residents who were members of the armed forces, out of town on Election Day, had religious beliefs keeping them from secular activities, had an illness or disability, or working a polling place, were allowed to vote absentee.
