Abstract

This article explores a recent report of scholars and voting-rights activists urging Congress to make voting mandatory. In this article, I examine the rights of felons, specifically their rights to vote while in mass incarceration. Since prisoners are not allowed to vote in most states, I argue why they should gain suffrage. From this article, I hope to provide and enlighten the reader on possible alternative solutions to prisoner voting.
