We will help ex-felons submit the improved, simple application.
Nearly 6 million citizens can’t vote because of a felony conviction.
- Felon voting laws prevent more minority voters from voting than voter ID laws.
- Some 350,000 Virginians have completed their prison sentences, yet cannot vote.
- Now, it’s easier to get rights restored because:
- Drug offenses have been removed from the list of violent felonies.
- Non-violent felons – 1 page application for automatic restoration of rights.
- Waiting time for a violent felony conviction is 3 years, not 5.
Virginia is 4th highest in the nation for ex–felon disenfranchisement.
WE CAN change that!
