Virginia's tough rules for felons to regain their voting rights could soon be changing

  • The potential alteration of these voting rights regulations could significantly impact the political landscape in Virginia, allowing more individuals with felony records to participate in elections and engage in civic duties, thereby promoting broader democratic participation.
