An Act relative to voting rights restoration
This bill removes automatic voting restrictions for people with felony convictions by amending two sections of state law. It deletes language that previously excluded individuals convicted of felonies (or incarcerated for felonies) from voting rights. As a result, people with felony convictions - whether currently incarcerated or not - will regain voting eligibility without needing additional legal steps. The bill directly affects all state residents who have been convicted of a felony and meet other standard voting requirements.
