En tu boleta

Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to provide for the fundamental right to vote in the Commonwealth, (ii) to revise the qualifications of voters so that a person convicted of a felony is not entitled to vote during his period of incarceration but is automatically invested with the right to vote upon release from incarceration, and (iii) to update the existing prohibition on voting by persons found to be mentally incompetent to instead apply to persons who have been found to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting?

Informed Citizen Voters

Dirigido por Colonel Pratt · 12 votantes

Our country was founded on the idea of no "taxation with representation." If someone has "paid the time" after "doing the crime," I believe they should be able to vote. Also, modern medicine is advanced enough to provide treatment to people who have mental illnesses so they should be allowed to vote if a Dr. says they are competent.

Baddies for Voting

Dirigido por Eshani Patel · 4 votantes

Yes changes the state constitution to make voting an explicit fundamental right, automatically restoring voting rights to individuals upon their release from prison, and updating the court criteria for mental capacity. Oftentimes, a lifetime ban on voting hurts community reintegration.

SK8 TO THE POLLS

Dirigido por Dot Johnson · 3 votantes

Currently, Virginia’s Constitution makes felony convictions a basis for loss of voting rights, with restoration handled through the state’s restoration process. The amendment would instead establish automatic restoration of voting rights upon release from incarceration for the felony conviction.

It does not mean someone currently incarcerated for a felony could vote. The proposed change concerns what happens after release from incarceration.
