Title: Expanding the Vote: State Felony Disenfranchisement Reform, 1997-2010 Summary: This report indicates that thousands of new voters can head to the polls next month due to changes to state laws that limit voting access for people convicted of felony offenses. Since 1997, 800,000 persons have regained the right to vote as a result of felony disenfranchisement reform in 23 states. The report found that: Nine states either repealed or amended lifetime disenfranchisement laws; Three states expanded voting rights to persons under community supervision (probation and parole); Eight states eased the restoration process for persons seeking to have their right to vote restored after completing sentence; and Three states improved data and information sharing.
