Bill > HF120

This bill clarifies that individuals convicted of a felony retain their civil right to vote unless they are currently serving a sentence of incarceration for that felony at the time of the vote, meaning their right to vote is restored as soon as they are no longer incarcerated, regardless of whether their sentence has been fully completed or they have been discharged. This change is reflected in several sections of Minnesota Statutes, including the voter registration application's certification of eligibility, the Voter's Bill of Rights poster displayed at polling places, and the requirements for signing a polling place roster. The bill aims to simplify and clarify the conditions under which individuals with felony convictions can exercise their right to vote.
