New Bill To Bring Voting Access to Jails
Season 2024
Episode 94
California's Assembly Bill 544 proposes a pilot program to facilitate voting for inmates in three counties. While people in county jails can vote if they haven't been convicted or are awaiting trial, barriers like mail delays often prevent participation. The initiative aims to ensure that eligible incarcerated individuals can exercise their democratic rights.
