Washington state is restoring voting rights to people who have served their prison sentence for felony convictions but may still be on parole and owe legal fees, under a law signed by Gov. Jay Inslee on April 7.
When the law takes effect in 2022, it will restore voting rights to more than 20,000 people in the state, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. Currently, people with felonies in the Evergreen State can only regain their right to vote after completing all conditions of their sentence.
