Iowa SJR3 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to remove the prohibition on voting rights for persons convicted of an infamous crime.

Iowa SJR3 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to persons entitled to the privilege of an elector. The amendment seeks to strike a prohibition that withholds the privilege of an elector from persons convicted of an infamous crime. The resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly for adoption, before being submitted to the electorate for ratification. The amendment would replace the current prohibition with a new provision disqualifying only those adjudged mentally incompetent to vote.
