AN ACT REQUIRING THE SECRETARY OF THE STATE TO ANNUALLY VERIFY THE CITIZENSHIP OF ELECTORS.

SB 661 requires Connecticut's Secretary of the State to annually review all voter registration records statewide to verify the U.S. citizenship status of every registered voter. This bill directly affects all Connecticut residents who are registered to vote, as their citizenship status would be checked each year. The key mechanism is a mandatory annual review of existing voter records, not new registrations, to confirm citizenship. The bill aims to ensure voter registration records accurately reflect citizenship eligibility without changing voter registration rules or adding new requirements for voters.
