HARTFORD, Conn. – The Hartford City Council approved two measures, one to create a committee to investigate the issues on Election Day and a second aimed at restructuring the Registrar of Voters’ office.

Five members of the City Council will comprise the Committee of Inquiry, which was tasked with investigating the issues on Election Day. The members include Council Majority Leader Alex Aponte, Minority Leader Joel Cruz Jr., Councilman Raul de Jesus, Councilwoman Cynthia Jennings, and Councilman David McDonald. Council President Shawn Wooden will serve as a sixth non-voting member.

The committee is expected to complete its report no later than Dec. 31. It will have the help of two law firms: Day Pitney and Shipman & Goodwin. It is also expected to use subpoena power to get documents and compel testimony from election officials.
