This constitutional amendment would enshrine in the state constitution that every person who meets age, residency, and registration requirements has the right to vote in Virginia. Particularly, it would automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions, as long as they are not currently incarcerated, with no action needed. The only other people who can be excluded from voting are those declared mentally incompetent by a court. This would add many voters and reduce barriers for returning citizens.
