A group of California assembly members is championing a constitutional amendment that would restore voting rights and end the disenfranchisement of system impacted individuals still in custody across the state. If this amendment is passed, this issue will go on the ballot, and ultimately, the people of California will make the final decision. If it is voted for, California will become the third state in the nation to allow those incarcerated to vote. Maine and Massachusetts are the only states that practice this. “Democracy should include everybody and that every citizen of our country and citizen of the state of California should have a voice in that democracy. Ultimately, that's what will prevail,” Assembly Member Isaac Bryan, the bill's author, said.
