 Statement from the League of Women Voters of Connecticut 

For 85 years, the League of Women Voters has promoted informed citizen participation in government. Nothing is more fundamental to our democracy than the right to vote. During the past four years, the League has worked closely with state and local elections officials, legislators, and other concerned organizations to ensure that the goals of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 become reality for Connecticut voters.  This important federal law was enacted to ensure that eligible voters are able to cast their votes easily, with confidence that each vote will be counted accurately. The League of Women Voters of Connecticut is committed and ready to help in the transition to new voting systems by doing what we do best—providing reliable and accurate information to Connecticut voters in order to safeguard the right to vote.
