An Act combating misinformation about ex-offender voting rights

This bill requires courts, probation officers, parole officers, and correctional facilities to inform individuals convicted of felonies about their right to vote in Massachusetts. It mandates that these officials provide written details on voter eligibility and registration, along with a written confirmation from the individual that they received this information. The law also applies retroactively to people who were convicted of felonies within the last ten years but are not currently in prison. By establishing these notification duties, the legislation aims to ensure that formerly incarcerated people are aware of their voting status and can register if eligible.
