Governor McAuliffe believes that all citizens deserve a second chance to vote, run for public office, serve on a jury and become a notary. To date, Governor Terry McAuliffe has granted the rights of 5,113 former felons in 8-months and that number is still growing. He also announced, applications to be filled out by more serious offenders are shortened from 13 pages to one and no longer will include burdensome requirements.

The Restoration of Rights Event was hosted by Pastor Derek Jones.
