GA HR1585

Proposes an amendment to the Georgia Constitution to eliminate the prohibition on voter registration and voting for persons convicted of felonies involving moral turpitude

Currently, individuals convicted of such felonies cannot register or vote until completion of their sentence; the amendment would remove this restriction entirely

Retains the existing exception that persons judicially determined to be mentally incompetent may not register or vote unless the disability has been removed

Requires the proposed amendment to be submitted to Georgia voters for ratification or rejection on a statewide ballot

Sponsored by Representatives Holly (116th), Bell (75th), Adesanya (43rd), McClain (109th), Berry (56th), and others
