Support state bills to restore voting rights for people on parole
Resolution Resolution No. 76-19
In Plain English
California currently bars people on parole from voting even after they leave prison. Assembly Constitutional Amendment 6 and Assembly Bill 646 would restore voting rights immediately upon release. If passed, these bills would allow roughly 50,000 Californians on parole to vote in future elections.
