Virginia voters will be asked if they support amending the state constitution to allow individuals convicted of felonies to have their right to vote restored following their release from incarceration. In Virginia, a person convicted of a felony can only have their right to vote reinstated on an individual basis by the governor, a process that the individual must initiate. Approximately 260,000 people in Virginia were disenfranchised from voting in 2024 as a result of a felony conviction.
