Felony Disenfranchisement | |
|
Nationally, an estimated 5.3 million Americans are denied the right to vote because of laws that prohibit voting by people with felony convictions. This fundamental obstacle to participation in democratic life is exacerbated by racial disparities in the criminal justice system, resulting in an estimated 13% of Black men unable to vote.
The Right to Vote Campaign is a national collaboration of the American Civil Liberties Union, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, and The Sentencing Project whose mission is to remove barriers to voting by people with felony convictions. Working with state and local partners, the Campaign is engaged in policy reform, litigation, public education, and voter registration both nationally and in targeted states. See Right to Vote for more information.
