"This is one part of getting my humanity back." - Jason Kotas
On Wednesday, October 16th, 2024, the Nebraska Supreme Court restored LB20 and says people who have completed their felony convictions MUST be allowed to register and vote.
LB20, passed in April, was not new and not radical. It represented 8 years of advocacy and resilience to change the hearts and minds of legislators across Nebraska. We know Nebraskans believe in second chances. We stand with those affected and will keep advocating and working to make change.
“The Attorney General's opinion and the Secretary of State's announcement - made public less than 48 hours before a law to remedy this is to take effect -
unnecessarily introduces more uncertainty, delay and complication.”
