Restoring the Right to Vote for Incarcerated Citizens

This groundbreaking legislation is critical to creating a more inclusive democracy in Illinois by restoring voting rights to individuals in prison and expanding civics education within our correctional system.

We are proud to work with our partners in the Unlock Civics Coalition to get this passed in Illinois.
