Bill > H1456

This bill aims to combat misinformation about ex-offender voting rights in Massachusetts. It requires courts, probation officers, parole officers, and correctional facilities to provide written notification to individuals convicted of felonies about their voter eligibility status, along with information on voter registration. The bill also requires the Office of the Commissioner of Probation to notify individuals convicted of felonies within the past 10 years who are not currently incarcerated about their voter eligibility. The purpose of these provisions is to ensure that ex-offenders are properly informed about their voting rights, thereby addressing any potential confusion or misinformation.
