Story
Nebraska Court Restores Voting Rights to 7,000 Felons Before Nov. 5 Election
Oct 16, 2024, 04:02 PM
On Wednesday, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that individuals with felony convictions who have completed their sentences are eligible to register to vote, overturning the Republican Secretary of State's previous decision to block them. The court ordered immediate implementation of state legislation restoring these rights, which could add over 7,000 voters to the rolls ahead of the November 5 election and potentially tip the electoral balance. The court determined that the Secretary of State had no authority to declare the laws unconstitutional, reaffirming the legislature's intent to re-enfranchise citizens with felony records.
