2006
Maine and Vermont are the only states that permit inmates to vote, while 36 states prohibit felons from doing so while they are on parole. How does the public view disenfranchisement laws, and what, if any, are the laws’ political effects? Various studies have recently been conducted.
As the November elections approached, researchers are tackled various questions about who can go to the polls and what is available to them once they get there. New reports explore topics such as state laws on felon voting, voting technology for people with disabilities, and legal provisions for language minority voters.
