Celebrate Virginia For Restoring Voting Rights For Thousands

Every eligible citizen deserves the opportunity to make their voice heard—and Virginia has taken a major step toward a more inclusive democracy.

Governor Abigail Spanberger has restored voting rights to more than 66,000 Virginians with past felony convictions, giving thousands of people who have completed their sentences the opportunity to fully participate in civic life once again.

Voting is one of the most fundamental rights in a democracy. When people have served their time and returned to their communities, restoring their right to vote recognizes their ability to contribute, participate, and have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives and families.

Expanding access to the ballot strengthens our democracy by encouraging civic engagement, increasing participation, and ensuring that more Americans can help shape the future of their communities. Every voice that is welcomed back into the democratic process makes our elections more representative and our country stronger.

By restoring voting rights to tens of thousands of Virginians, Governor Spanberger is helping build a democracy that values second chances, civic participation, and the fundamental right to vote.
