MN High Court Upholds Law Restoring Voting Rights to People Released From Prison
0
On Wednesday, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld a 2023 law that restores voting rights to people formerly convicted of felony level crimes as soon as they exit prison. Prior to that law’s passage, people convicted of such crimes not only had to wait until they got out of prison to have their voting rights reinstated, but also had to complete probation and parole, often a lengthy process.
