MN HF116

Restores voting rights to individuals convicted of felonies upon completion of incarceration or immediately upon sentencing if no incarceration is imposed, with voting rights lost only during actual periods of incarceration.

Requires voter registration applications and polling place rosters to reflect updated language stating individuals "am not currently incarcerated for a felony offense" or "completed the term of incarceration, if any" rather than references to sentence expiration.

Mandates the Secretary of State develop and distribute accurate information about voting rights for people charged with or convicted of crimes to judges, court personnel, probation officers, corrections officials, and the public.

Requires correctional facility officials and probation/supervised release agents to provide written notice of restored voting rights and voter registration applications to individuals being released from incarceration or under correctional supervision for felony offenses.

Failure to provide notice does not prevent restoration of voting rights.
