Virginia Restores Voting Rights for 66K | Richmond News

Governor Abigail Spanberger just restored voting rights to over 66,000 Virginians with felony convictions — a major step toward justice and inclusion. This move also reinstates their ability to serve on juries, run for office, and become notaries. The governor’s office is speeding up reviews and proactively restoring rights, empowering individuals to rebuild their lives and participate fully in society. A November ballot amendment would make this automatic upon release, ending decades of discriminatory practices — giving voters the chance to decide whether Virginia will continue to deny fundamental rights or embrace a more inclusive future.
