Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to restore voting rights to formerly convicted voters upon release from incarceration.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia law to automatically restore voting rights to individuals convicted of a felony once they are released from incarceration, regardless of whether they are still on probation, parole, or supervised release. Previously, individuals convicted of a felony, treason, or bribery in an election were disqualified from voting while serving their sentence, including periods of incarceration, probation, or parole. This change aims to re-enfranchise formerly incarcerated individuals upon their release from prison.
