Federal prisons would give voting information to eligible inmates.
This bill would require federal prisons to provide voting information to inmates who are eligible to vote in their home states. It would ensure these inmates receive details on how to register and request absentee ballots. This changes how federal prisons currently handle voter information for inmates.
Today, there is no federal rule requiring the Bureau of Prisons to give inmates voting registration or absentee ballot information. If this bill passes, the Bureau of Prisons would have to systematically provide this information to eligible inmates. It would also make this information widely available in federal prisons and online, starting at least 90 days before elections.
