HJ 18 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO PROVIDE FOR PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

This resolution proposes amending the state constitution to replace current single-member districts with proportional representation for the General Assembly. It would directly affect how state legislators are elected, changing seat allocation so that each party's share of seats matches its statewide vote share in elections. Under this system, if Party A receives 40% of the statewide vote, it would hold approximately 40% of the Assembly seats, rather than winning districts based on local majorities. The bill does not change existing district boundaries but fundamentally alters the electoral mechanism for allocating legislative seats.
