To ensure that only eligible citizens vote, our team contributed to the rulemaking process for reinstating voter rights for felons. We argued that felons should prove their eligibility, not the Secretary of State, to prevent ineligible felons from inflating and complicating voter rolls, and to avoid using taxpayer money for verification costs. Consequently, the rules now require felons convicted of murder or sexual offenses to provide an Executive Order or a Certificate from the Office of Executive Clemency, with documentation dated for each conviction.
