108TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION H. R. 2935
To provide fairness in voter participation. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 25, 2003
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary 
A BILL 
To provide fairness in voter participation.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Constitutional Protec-
tion of the Right to Vote Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The right to vote is the most basic constitu-
tive act of citizenship. The right to vote should not 
be abridged by the United States or any State on 
account of race, color, gender, or previous condition 
of servitude. Fundamental fairness requires that all
HR 2939 IH 
‘‘§ 832. Participation in nuclear and weapons of mass 
destruction threats to the United States 
‘‘(a) Whoever, within the United States or subject to 
the jurisdiction of the United States, willfully participates 
in or provides material support or resources (as defined 
in section 2339A) to a nuclear weapons program or other 
weapons of mass destruction program of a foreign ter-
rorist power, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be 
imprisoned for not more than 20 years. 
‘‘(b) There is extraterritorial Federal jurisdiction 
over an offense under this section. 
‘‘(c) As used in this section—
‘‘(1) ‘nuclear weapons program’ means a pro-
gram or plan for the development, acquisition, or 
production of any nuclear weapon or weapons; 
‘‘(2) ‘weapons of mass destruction program’ 
means a program or plan for the development, ac-
quisition, or production of any weapon or weapons 
of mass destruction (as defined in section 2332a(c)); 
‘‘(3) ‘foreign terrorist power’ means a terrorist 
organization designated under section 219 of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act, or a state sponsor 
of terrorism designated under section 6(j) of the Ex-
port Administration Act of 1979 or section 620A of 
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961; and
members of society who have reached voting age, in-
cluding rehabilitated ex-felons, be given a right to 
the ballot in State and Federal elections. 
(2) The lack of a nationwide uniform standard 
regarding ex-felons and eligibility to vote has led to 
a crazy quilt of laws, where in some States ex-felons 
are barred from voting for life. Currently, it is esti-
mated that 3.9 million United States citizens are 
disenfranchised, including over one million who have 
completed their sentences. State disenfranchisement 
laws have had an adverse affect on African Ameri-
cans. Thirteen percent of African American men, or 
1.4 million, are currently disenfranchised because of 
such laws. 
(3) While State law determines the qualifica-
tions for voting, Congress must ensure that the citi-
zens’ right to the ballot is unabridged. Disenfran-
chisement laws are vestiges of medieval times when 
citizens who committed crimes suffered civil death 
and were banished from society. These laws serve no 
purpose in a free and democratic country toward the 
reintroduction of individuals back into society. After 
an individual has served a sentence of imprisonment 
and is no longer on probation or parole, that indi-
vidual should be eligible to participate in Federal 
and State elections. 
SEC. 3. RIGHTS OF CITIZENS. 
The right of a citizen of the United States to vote 
shall not be denied or abridged because that citizen has 
been convicted of a criminal offense, unless such citizen 
is, at the time of the vote, serving a felony sentence in 
a correctional institution or facility or is otherwise under 
the supervision or actual or constructive custody of a gov-
ernmental authority pursuant to that conviction. 
SEC. 4. NOTICE TO PERSONS RELEASED. 
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enact-
ment of this Act, each correctional institution or facility 
shall establish and carry out a system of notice to ensure 
that persons being released from that institution or facility 
are informed of the right to vote protected by this Act. 
SEC. 5. DEFINITION. 
As used in this Act, the term ‘‘correctional institution 
or facility’’ means any prison, penitentiary, jail, or other 
institution or facility for the confinement of individuals 
convicted of criminal offenses.
