Under existing law, a person convicted of certain crimes may apply to the Board of Pardons and Paroles for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote if the person has completed his or her sentence and satisfies other criteria.
This bill would revise some of the application procedures for the Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote to expedite the process to within a specified timeframe.
This bill would also require each state or county correctional facility, prison, or jail to post materials provided by the Secretary of State and the Board of Pardons and Paroles relating to requirements and procedures for restoring one's right to vote if convicted of a disqualifying felony of moral turpitude.
