Last week, I had the privilege of helping out the Constitutional Convention Campaign in Connecticut. Every 20 years Connecticut voters are allowed to vote on whether the state’s constitution should be changed. The CCC is urging citizens to vote yes thus allowing citizens the power to petition issues onto the ballot, such as a property tax cap or bans on eminent domain.

The last constitutional convention took place in Connecticut in 1965. It was called to correct a flawed system of apportioning representatives to the General Assembly. The question about a convention last appeared on the ballot in 1986.
