reintegrates offenders into free society. The right to 
vote may not be abridged or denied by the United 
States or by any State on account of race, color, 
gender, or previous condition of servitude. Basic con-
stitutional principles of fairness and equal protection 
require an equal opportunity for United States citi-
zens to vote in Federal elections. 
(2) Congress has ultimate supervisory power 
over Federal elections, an authority that has repeat-
edly been upheld by the Supreme Court. 
(3) Although State laws determine the quali-
fications for voting in Federal elections, Congress 
must ensure that those laws are in accordance with 
the 
Constitution. 
Currently, 
those 
laws 
vary 
throughout the Nation, resulting in discrepancies re-
garding which citizens may vote in Federal elections. 
(4) An estimated 5,300,000 individuals in the 
United States, or 1 in 41 adults, currently cannot 
vote as a result of a felony conviction. Women rep-
resent about 676,000 of those 5,300,000. 
(5) State disenfranchisement laws dispropor-
tionately impact ethnic minorities. 
(6) Ten States disenfranchise some or all ex-of-
fenders who have fully served their sentences, re-
gardless of the nature or seriousness of the offense.
