Maryland HB52 establishes a voter hotline for incarcerated individuals and allows them to register to vote.

Maryland HB52 creates a toll-free voter hotline for incarcerated individuals, enabling them to receive information about voting, request election-related materials, and report voting rights violations. The bill also allows individuals convicted of a felony and serving a court-ordered sentence of imprisonment to register to vote. The State Board of Elections will collaborate with the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services and correctional facilities to administer the hotline. The bill repeals and reenacts sections of the Maryland Election Law to implement these changes.
