Call-in to Support Voting Rights

Do you have a few minutes to make a call to help pass our Restoration of Voting Rights Bill out of the House?

Last week our bill to restore voting rights to former felons who have served their time (HB 70) passed unanimously out of the House Elections and Constitutional Amendments committee, and we just learned that the bill has been posted for the Orders of the Day on the House floor, meaning it could come up for a vote very soon.

Since this bill is a constitutional amendment, we need a super-majority of votes in both houses of the legislature. We need members from all over the state to contact their legislators to express their support for restoring voting rights to former felons who have served their debt to society.

Take Action

Call the Legislative Message Line (1-800-372-7181) as soon as you can, and ask to leave a message for "House and Senate Leadership, Senate State and Local Government," and your own Representative and Senator.

The line is open until 11pm.

Message: "Please vote yes on House Bill 70."

PS - KFTC and our voting rights allies will be hosting a Voting Rights Rally and Lobby Day on March 4th. Look for more details on this event next week.
