MN SF1296

Restores voting rights to individuals convicted of felonies upon completion of incarceration, or upon sentencing if no incarceration is imposed.

Voting rights are lost only during periods of active incarceration; if an individual is later reincarcerated for the same offense, rights are lost only for that incarceration period.

Updates voter registration certification to require applicants to certify they are "not currently incarcerated for a felony offense" rather than requiring sentence completion or discharge.

Removes the requirement that discharge from sentence restores the right to vote, making voting rights restoration automatic upon completion of incarceration.

Repeals Minnesota Statutes section 201.275.
