“In Colorado, people serving sentences for misdemeanors and those previously convicted of felonies can vote. Coloradans currently serving sentences for felonies cannot vote, but are able to cast a ballot once they have served their sentence.
“Kyle Giddings [Leading with Conviction™ 2024 participant], the civic engagement coordinator with the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, said much of his role involves informing people in custody of their rights.
“‘I can’t tell you how many times we run into folks who are in their 30s, 40s and 50s who’ve never voted before because they didn’t think they had the right to vote because of an old felony conviction they got in their 20s,’ Giddings said. A 2019 Colorado law restored the right to vote for people convicted of felonies.”
