Civil Rights of Felons in Virginia

Public Policy Position

CIVIL RIGHTS OF FELONS IN VIRGINIA

The League of Women Voters of Virginia believes that:

  • the civil rights of felons in Virginia should be restored automatically either upon their release from incarceration or upon completion of probation or parole.
  • the procedure should be identical for all felons, regardless of the nature of their crime.
  • the process should be easy to understand, accessible, transparent and fair
  • information about the process should be available to felons, the justice and correction system and the general public. (2009)
