Bill > SF856

This bill: 1. Restores the right to vote for individuals convicted of a felony upon the completion of their incarceration or if no incarceration was imposed. This right is lost only during the period of incarceration for the same offense. 2. Removes the requirement for county attorneys to investigate voter registration eligibility and prosecute alleged violations of voter registration laws, repealing Minnesota Statute 201.275. 3. Requires the Secretary of State to develop and distribute information on the voting rights of individuals charged with or convicted of a crime to ensure they are aware of their rights. The bill aims to automatically restore voting rights upon release from incarceration for felony convictions, streamlining the process and removing barriers to voter participation for those who have completed their sentences.
