Today, State Senator Matt Lesser (D-Middletown), Chair of the Insurance & Real Estate Committee, is releasing a statement after Democrats announced their plans for COVID-safe voting in 2022. Today, plans were announced to pass legislation within the next several weeks to continue to allow voting by absentee ballot through the 2022 general election.
