New Bill Would Make Mail-In Voting Permanent In Vt. What Does That Mean?

A piece of paper saying if you plan to vote by mail, plan ahead — The U.S. Postal Service sent out these mailers in early September, asking voters to plan ahead for the general election on Nov. 3.

At a time when more than 40 states are considering bills to limit access to voting, the Vermont Legislature is moving in the opposite direction. This hour, we look at a bill that would make mail-in voting permanent for Vermont's general elections. Our guests are:

Jim Condos, Vermont Secretary of State
Carol Dawes, Barre City Clerk
Paul Burns, executive director of the 开云体育 Interest Research Group (VPIRG)
Rob Roper, president of the Ethan Allen Institute
