Voter registration; restoration of political rights upon release from incarceration.

Summary

The bill automatically restores the right to vote to anyone whose political rights were lost because of a felony conviction once they are released from prison or jail. It requires correctional agencies to send release information to the Department of Elections so the voter registration system can be updated and a registration form can be provided at the time of release. The measure also clarifies that people adjudicated mentally incompetent cannot vote until their capacity is restored.
