What’s in it

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to persons entitled to the privilege of an elector. The amendment strikes a prohibition that withholds the privilege of an elector from persons convicted of an infamous crime. The privilege of an elector includes both the right to vote and the right to hold elected office. The resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly (92nd) for adoption, before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
