Vote YES on the Right to Vote
Vote YES to make the Right to Vote permanent, automatic, and protected.
What we're fighting for
Virginia's Constitution still lets one person — the Governor — decide whether hundreds of thousands of Virginians get their voice back.Passing this amendment means putting the right to vote into our Constitution where it belongs — permanent, protected, and no longer subject to politics.It means neighbors who've done their time get their full voice back the day they come home, not months or years later through a bureaucratic process that may or may not go their way.

How this will show up on your ballot
Being familiar with how it will show up on your ballot helps you get ready to vote.
“Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to provide for the fundamental right to vote in the Commonwealth, (ii) to revise the qualifications of voters so that a person convicted of a felony is not entitled to vote during his period of incarceration but is automatically invested with the right to vote upon release from incarceration, and (iii) to update the existing prohibition on voting by persons found to be mentally incompetent to instead apply to persons who have been found to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting?”
