Voting Rights of the Formerly Incarcerated

In this episode, the JSGC Podcast team interviews Yvonne and Bryan about the voting rights of formerly incarcerated people and clear up confusion over who is eligible to vote in Pennsylvania. We also discuss barriers to voting, and what we learned from collecting data on the voting habits of people released from prisons. A full report as well as a summary are available here.For an overview of voting rights of current and former prisoners please see the following link from the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections:https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/cor/resources/rights-laws-regulations-and-acts/voting-rights.html More information on our elections can be found at the Pennsylvania Department of state website: https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/vote.html Music by Joseph McDade.
