Thousands of Nebraskans with felony convictions could be denied voting rights under AG’s opinion
- A law to immediately restore voting rights for felons in Nebraska was deemed unconstitutional by AG Mike Hilgers, potentially denying thousands of Nebraskans their voting rights.
- The state Board of Pardons is now the sole entity able to restore voting rights through a full pardon, as per Hilgers' opinion, leading to a directive to halt registrations of felons without pardons.
- County election offices are instructed to stop registering un-pardoned felons based on the AG's opinion, according to a statement by Secretary of State Evnen.
