GA SR483

Proposes an amendment to the Georgia Constitution to eliminate the provision that bars individuals convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude from registering or voting

Currently, persons convicted of such felonies cannot register, remain registered, or vote until completion of their sentence; this amendment would remove that 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 constitutional amendment to be submitted to Georgia voters for ratification or rejection on a statewide ballot

Sponsored by Senator McLaurin of the 14th District
