Bill > H0698

This bill amends existing Idaho law to clarify voting rights for individuals convicted of felonies in other states. Specifically, it revises a provision that previously stated persons convicted of felonies in other states would be allowed to register and vote in Idaho upon their final discharge, which means satisfactory completion of their sentence, probation, and parole. The amendment adds an exception, stating that this provision regarding voting rights upon final discharge does not apply to individuals convicted of treason. The bill also includes an emergency clause, declaring that it will take effect on July 1, 2026.
