<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for reaching out to us. We share your concern about the accessibility of upcoming elections in Connecticut. Please be assured that our staff is working on this issue. Currently, we are researching how other states have handled
this and are gathering information from the Secretary of State’s office. We would love to hear from others who are concerned about the implications of in-person voting or may have experienced barriers to voting by mail in the past. Please feel free to share
my contact information with anyone you feel appropriate. I can be reached directly at this email address or by phone at 860-469-4467. I am happy to discuss this further with you at any time and I will keep you updated if there is any action we deem appropriate.
Thank you again for reaching out to us and for your continued advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities in Connecticut.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you are staying well!<br>

Is disability rights Connecticut doing anything to make sure that vote by mail or absentee voting is accessible to people with disabilities?
