Secretary of the State Denise Merrill will discuss Improving Elections in Connecticut Thursday, Feb. 23, 10 a.m., at the Ridgefield Library.

The League of Women Voters will moderate a discussion focusing on election reforms that Ms. Merrill plans to introduce in the upcoming legislative session.

The proposed legislation, which will be presented to the General Assembly next month, would allow Connecticut voters, who have a valid and current driver’s license, to register over the Internet.

Other changes concern Election Day registration, absentee ballots to be governed by stature, and other improvements to the voting process in Connecticut.

The discussion is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
