Voting Rights at the ACI (S 2635)

We strongly supported legislation which would have bolstered the right to vote at the ACI by requiring the posting of voting rights information in its facilities and the appointment of a “jail voting coordinator” to assist incarcerated voters. Individuals who are incarcerated for a misdemeanor offense, or who are being detained pre-trial, retain their right to vote, and make up a significant portion of the ACI population. Unfortunately, this bill died in committee.
