Minnesota Democrats to Restore Voting Rights for 55,000 Convicted FelonsJohn Binder 26 Feb 2023
Democrat legislators in Minnesota are poised to restore voting rights for as many as 55,000 convicted felons across the state.
Last week, Minnesota Democrats in the state House and Senate approved a bill that will give back voting rights to up to 55,000 convicted felons who are no longer incarcerated in the state.
The bill, most significantly, ensures that felons secure their voting rights immediately after they are released from prison — a move that will automatically reregister them in the state’s voting rolls. Already, 21 states have such a policy.
“This is a really big law change, so we’re going to be there with our nonpartisan voter outreach folks, making sure everyone gets word,” Minnesota’s Secretary of State Steve Simon (D) told NPR.
