Disenfranchising voters who have been incarcerated is a long standing voter suppression tactic — but with the bill Nebraska lawmakers passed last week, THOUSANDS of Nebraskans are one step closer to having their voting rights more easily restored. 🙌🏽
Currently, someone convicted of a felony in Nebraska must wait two years after completing their prison, parole, and probation sentences before regaining their right to vote. This bill eliminates that waiting period, allowing Nebraskans to automatically get their voting power back as soon as they return to their communities.
In order for this bill to officially become law, Governor Jim Pellen must sign it.

Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings has since announced she will appeal this decision to the Delaware Supreme Court. Making voting accessible allows for more Americans to become involved in the process and have their voices represented in our government.

As Ashley Shelton, President of Power Coalition of Equity and Justice, said, “This is a win for Black voters and a powerful moment in Louisiana’s history.”
