Correction to Our Felon Voting Rights Program
Our January speaker, Dr. Pippa Holloway, has informed us that she made an error in her presentation to us on felon disfranchisement. The Tennessee General Assembly did NOT pass a new law last session changing the process for the restoration of voting rights for those with felony convictions—the bill passed the House, but not the Senate. Dr. Holloway apologizes for this error and has shared the following PowerPoint slides that outline the existing process for felons’ restoration of voting rights in Tennessee.
