South Carolina S0140 mandates that inmates completing felony sentences receive voter registration information.

South Carolina S0140 amends the state code to ensure that inmates who have completed their felony sentences, including probation and parole, receive a written notice from the Department of Corrections. This notice includes the contact information of the voter registration board in their county of residence and a copy of South Carolina Code Section 7-5-120. The bill also requires that individuals formerly disqualified from voting due to felony convictions provide verification of sentence completion at the time of registration.
