The Virginia Organization Project is working hard to push Governer Kaine to sign for the Resoration of Voting Rights for felons upon complettion of the sentence begin servered.
Please help support the VOP in their efforts.
Restoration of Voting Rights for
Former Felons in Virginia
The problem:
Virginia has an estimated 300,000 former felons who cannot vote.
Virginia and Kentucky are the only two states that have this restriction.
The solution:
Former felons should have their rights automatically restored when they complete their sentence and probation. The Governor can establish this policy entirely on his own, with no permission required from the Virginia General Assembly. We need Governor Tim Kaine to sign an Executive Order to correct this injustice — before he leaves office.
ACTION NEEDED:
What you can do:
Contact Governor Tim Kaine at (804) 786-2211 or send an e-mail at http://www.governor.virginia.gov/AboutTheGovernor/contactGovernor.cfm
and ask him, “Please sign an Executive Order to restore voting rights for former felons so that their rights are automatically restored when they finish their sentence.”
