Easier Voting Access for Federal Inmates

New rules aim to make it easier for federal inmates, who are eligible to vote in their states, to access information about voter registration and absentee voting. The Director of the Bureau of Prisons will be required to provide this information to enable eligible individuals to participate in federal, state, and local elections.
Key points
Eligible inmates will receive voter registration and absentee ballot information 90 days before elections.
Re-entry Affairs Coordinators in prisons will have access to registration forms and prepaid envelopes.
Information will be available in English and Spanish, with support for inmates with disabilities.
