KY HB420

Proposes a constitutional amendment to reduce Kentucky residency requirements for voting from one year to 30 days before an election, eliminating the additional six-month county and 60-day precinct requirements

Automatically restores voting rights to persons convicted of felonies (except treason, election bribery, or election fraud) upon completion of imprisonment, probation, or parole

Automatically restores full civil rights to convicted felons five years after completing their sentence, probation, or parole, unless previously restored by executive pardon

Persons with subsequent felony convictions after having rights restored lose voting rights again until completing their new sentence, with the five-year waiting period restarting

Requires the Secretary of State to publish the proposed amendment in a statewide newspaper by the first Tuesday in August and certify it to county clerks for inclusion on ballots at the next regular General Assembly election
