Coalition Letter to NM Legislators on Ending Felony Disenfranchisement (February 2023)

The undersigned organizations are committed to expanding voting rights to all citizens including people with felony convictions completing their sentences both inside and outside of incarceration. We applaud the introduction of New Mexico’s voting rights act, HB4, which, amongst other things, would end New Mexico’s practice of disenfranchising people on probation and parole. We urge passage of this measure. We also encourage the New Mexico legislature to go further and guarantee the right to all citizens regardless of their incarceration status.
