What’s in it

This bill makes restoration of the right to register to vote and to vote automatic upon a person’s release from probation, parole, or work release. By operation of law, persons whose rights have been restored are eligible to run for elective office. The bill requires the department of corrections or the judicial district department of correctional services to provide written notice upon discharge from confinement or supervision that a person’s voting rights are restored and that the person must provide written notice of discharge when registering to vote. The notice shall also include a voter registration form.
