FAIRFIELD COUNTY – Sweeping election law changes proposed in Connecticut would make it easier for Fairfield County voters to register online, allow registration on the same day as an election and permit more people to obtain absentee ballots.
That would be helpful to Fairfield County commuters who work late in New York and often can't get back in time to vote, say state and local election officials.

“I am a strong supporter of reforming voter registration laws in Connecticut because so many people throughout Fairfield County have trouble getting to the polls within the mandated time frame,” said Wilton’s Democratic Registrar of Voters Carole Young-Kleinfeld.
The proposed changes are included in parts of several bills supported by Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, Secretary of the State Denise Merrill and the state’s Election Performance Task Force. Young-Kleinfeld represented the state’s League of Women’s Voters on the task force.
