Proposed Constitutional Amendment Question 3 (voting rights)
Would state a fundamental right to vote, automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions upon release from incarceration, and revise the mental-capacity voting provision.
What a vote means
- A yes vote
- People convicted of felonies could not vote while incarcerated but would regain the right to vote automatically on release; the other changes in the question would also take effect.
- A no vote
- The state constitution stays as it is now.
