Why This Is Important

HOUSE BILL 70

AN ACT proposes an amendment to Section 145 of the Constitution of Kentucky relating to persons entitled to vote.

Propose to amend Section 145 of the Constitution of Kentucky to exclude a convicted felon from the right to vote until expiration of probation or final discharge from parole or maximum expiration of sentence; submit to the voters for ratification or rejection.

This will restore voting rights to felons once they finish serving their terms. It's time to stop punishing people even after they paid their debt to society.

Restore the voting rights of felons who’ve served their time!

Dear Representative

Please restore voting rights to felons once they finish serving their terms. It's time to stop punishing people even after they paid their debt to society.

Thank you for your consideration.
