Public Act No. 11-173
An Act Concerning Revisions to Elections Related Statutes
Sec. 56. (NEW) (Effective January 1, 2012) (a) Any elector who is permanently physically disabled and who files an application for an absentee ballot with a certification from a primary care provider, indicating that such elector is permanently physically disabled and unable to appear in person at such elector's designated polling location, shall be eligible for permanent absentee ballot status and shall receive an application for an absentee ballot for each election, primary or referendum conducted in such elector's municipality for which such elector is eligible to vote. Such elector's permanent absentee ballot status shall remain in effect until such elector: (1) Is removed from the official registry list of the municipality, (2) is removed from permanent absentee ballot status pursuant to the provisions of this section, or (3) requests that he or she no longer receive such permanent absentee ballot status.
(b) The registrars of voters shall send written notice to each such elector with permanent absentee ballot status in January of each year, on a form prescribed by the Secretary of the State, for the purpose of determining if such elector continues to reside at the address indicated on the elector's permanent absentee ballot application. If such written notice is not returned within thirty days or is returned as undeliverable, the elector in question shall be removed from permanent absentee ballot status. If such elector indicates on such notice that the elector no longer resides at such address and the elector's new address is within the same municipality, the registrars of voters shall change the elector's address pursuant to section 9-35 of the general statutes and such elector shall retain permanent absentee ballot status. If the elector indicates on such notice that the elector no longer resides in the municipality, the registrars of voters shall remove such individual from the registry list of the municipality and send such individual an application for voter registration. Failure to return such written notice shall not result in the removal of an elector from the official registry list of the municipality.

Tips for Pedestrians
|
 |
As a pedestrian, you are not always visible to drivers; especially for large truck and bus drivers.
Pedestrians need to be careful of all vehicles and never take chances. Here are some safety tips that can keep you safe when walking:
Walk on sidewalks
Walk on sidewalks and in crosswalks whenever possible. Obey traffic lights and walk signals. Remember that trucks and buses make wide turns and occasionally run up onto the corner of the sidewalk, so it is important for you to be alert and be prepared to move back if necessary.
When there are no sidewalks
If sidewalks are not available, walk as far to the side of the road as you safely can facing oncoming traffic. This allows you to see cars coming at you rather than having them approach you from behind.
Make yourself visible
Dress to be seen. Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially when walking at night. Carry a flashlight if you have one.
Stopping distances
Use caution when crossing intersections and streets. You may think vehicles will stop for you, but they may not see you or even be able to stop. Remember, some vehicles, such as trucks, need much more space to stop than passenger vehicles.
Know your no-zones
Be careful of the blind spots, or No-Zones, around cars, trucks, and buses when walking near or around them, and never walk behind a car or a truck that is backing up. Always assume the driver does not know that you are there and that it is up to you to stay safe.
