Two bills that would grant felons voting rights and illegal immigrants the ability to obtain driver’s licenses were passed by the Minnesota Senate on Feb. 22.

Passed in a 35-30 vote, the “Restore the Vote” bill (pdf) would restore the voting rights of convicted felons immediately after they are released from jail.
