A group attempting to restore voting rights for people convicted of felonies have added more than 500 residents in Clark County to an eligibility list in time for this year’s election.
The Nevada Independent reports the efforts are part of an arrangement between state and local officials and the Campaign Legal Center.
The CLC’s Restore Your Vote campaign aims to streamline the process for ex-felons to reinstate their voting rights. The group says felony convictions kept about 90,000 Nevadans from voting in 2016
