Bill > SB24

This bill requires the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles to create and post an application on its website by March 1, 2027, for individuals seeking to have their voting rights restored after a felony conviction, along with instructions on how to apply and an explanation of the eligibility criteria. The application, which can be submitted electronically, will automatically go to the board for review, and if approved, the board will issue a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote. Additionally, the board must publish the Alabama Institutional Serial (AIS) number of individuals whose voting rights have been restored, and if provided on the application, the county where they reside, providing a more transparent process for restoring voting rights in Alabama.
