AI Summary

This bill automatically restores voter eligibility for all persons convicted of a felony offense who are not serving a sentence of total confinement under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections. It amends various laws related to voter registration and eligibility, and provides that a person's right to vote is automatically restored once they are no longer in total confinement, without the need for additional steps. The bill also clarifies that confinement imposed as a sanction for a community custody violation is not considered "total confinement" for the purposes of voter eligibility.
