VOTERS' RIGHTS IN PENNSYLVANIA
October 1, 2006
All too often Pennsylvania voters, would-be voters, and poll workers mistakenly believe that people who have served time for a felony can no longer vote or that they must wait five years after release from prison or jail before they can vote. This is a myth. As of the year 2000, an individual is entitled to vote once released, even if he or she is serving probation or parole. Wayne Jacobs, Co-Founder of Ex-Offenders for Community Empowerment says it’s important for all voters to know their rights.
