The funny thing is that the law currently states that felons are to get their voting rights restored once the have completed their sentence. The problem is most ex-felons don't know this and no one tells them so they don't go through the procedure (simple paperwork) to have them restored. And we know who this impacts the most.

That is why folx involved in Get Out the Vote activities are asked to put an emphasis on educating ex-felons about this, helping them with the process,and then getting them registered.
