General Assembly
Let your voice be heard for restoring voting rights in Kentucky
“I am a Kentuckian. I have never seen the inside of a prison, but my right to vote has been taken away. I often wonder, how much is my community losing out because my voice and the voices of 240,000 others have been silenced in our democracy?”
– Mantell Stevens
Momentum is building for a constitutional amendment restoring voting rights in Kentucky, but your voice is needed now to move HB 70 forward in the state senate.
Please call the Legislative Message Line (1-800-372-7181). Ask to leave the following message for your state senator and Senate President Robert Stivers:
“Make this the year to pass HB 70 and restore voting rights! This bill has strong support and deserves a vote in the Senate. Please oppose attempts to make voting harder or the bill more restrictive.”
The Legislative Message Line is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and until 6 p.m. on Fridays.
Citizen LobbyTraining!
We hope you will join the Scott County chapter of Kentuckians For The Commonwealth and some of our allies at our lobby training, which is aimed at helping every day citizens feel comfortable with talking to their elected officials about issues that are important to them.
