AN ACT CONCERNING THE SECRETARY OF THE STATE'S RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE CIRCULATION OF PRIMARY AND NOMINATING PETITIONS AND DISTRIBUTION OF ABSENTEE BALLOT APPLICATIONS.

Summary

The bill changes Connecticut law so that anyone collecting signatures for primary petitions must be a registered party member in the municipality where they reside and must include a municipal registrar’s certification on each petition page. For nominating petitions, circulators must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old, and residents of a Connecticut town. It also requires circulators to sign statements attesting to signature authenticity, subjects them to nationwide criminal background checks, and bars individuals with certain felony convictions from circulating for a defined period.
