The bill defines "sentence" as the term of incarceration, probation, and parole. It mandates that individuals who have completed their sentence for such convictions are eligible to register and vote. The bill also outlines procedures for voter registration by mail and the responsibilities of county election commissioners, including attending training seminars and completing skills assessments.
