The Connecticut legislature adjourned on June 3, without having passed any interesting election law bills. The National Popular Vote Plan bill (HB 6437), as well as election-day registration (HB 6435), had both passed the House. But the Senate didn’t pass either bill. The ballot access bill, HB 6436, never made any headway after its hearing back on February 18.
There will be a special session to deal with the budget. I do not know if they can address these then.
I’m curious – if they do pass the NPV at session-end, would that leave it in the same status as it was in Hawaii last year, i.e., subject to pocket veto by the Gov?
Sorry – I meant Vt.
