Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed an executive order on Tuesday to allow released prisoners to vote in a move he claimed will restore their civil rights.

“Going forward, any Virginian released from incarceration will qualify to have their rights restored, even if they remain on community supervision,” a press release from Northam reads.
