Senate Bill 2576 Summary

• Restores voting rights to individuals convicted of disenfranchising crimes after they complete their incarceration and parole, or immediately if sentenced to probation only.

• Modifies voter registration and removal procedures so names are only removed from the Statewide Elections Management System if the person is currently serving incarceration or parole for a disenfranchising crime.

• Requires the Secretary of State to update voter registration applications and develop training for election commissioners, registrars, and poll managers on handling persons with restored voting rights.

• Updates the Statewide Elections Management System to track convictions and sentences imposed, distinguishing between incarceration and probation-only sentences to determine voting eligibility.

• Amends multiple election code sections to ensure voter rolls, pollbooks, and enrollment lists are updated to reflect persons whose voting rights have been restored under this act.
