States have restored voting rights for thousands with felony convictions since 2016.

The 2020 election will be the first in decades where no US state will bar all its citizens with felony convictions from voting.

In 2016, an estimated 6.1 million people across the United States were barred from voting due to a felony conviction, with 1 in 13 Black Americans and 1 in 56 non-Black Americans nationwide having lost their right to vote for that reason.

Four states — Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, and Virginia — until recently barred most or all people with felony convictions from voting, requiring returning citizens with felony records to receive restoration of their rights or clemency directly from their state's governor.

Since then, as criminal justice reform initiatives gained traction in states across the US, all four of those states have since reenfranchised hundreds of thousands of returned citizens by gubernatorial executive orders or with ballot initiatives. Other states, like New Jersey and New York, have also relaxed their laws to allow those on probation and parole to vote.
