Election Law - Individuals Released from State Correctional Facilities - Automatic Restoration of Voter Registration

HB 1110 automatically restores voting rights for individuals released from Maryland state correctional facilities who were previously registered to vote in the state. The bill requires the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services to electronically send weekly lists of released individuals (including their new addresses) to the State Board of Elections. The Board must then automatically reactivate these voters' registration at their new addresses, granting them active voter status without needing to re-register. This applies to people released from facilities like Patuxent Institution or the Baltimore City Detention Center, effective July 1, 2025.
