Current Felony Disenfranchisement Laws

Wisconsin disenfranchises people while they are in prison, or on parole or probation for a felony conviction. In Wisconsin, 62,343 individuals are ineligible to vote because of a conviction. Over 37,500 of these individuals are out of prison, and living in the community.

Legislative Advocacy

On August 3, 2009 Erika Wood submitted written testimony on Assembly Bill 353, the Wisconsin Democracy Restoration Act, to the Assembly Committee on Corrections and the Court. The Wisconsin Democracy Restoration Act would restore the right to individuals who are on probation or parole for a felony conviction.
