April 22, 2016 will forever be etched in Virginia’s history because one governor lifted the ban on voter disenfranchisement. Governor Terry McAuliffe signed an executive order to restore the rights of an additional 206,000 individuals with felony offenses. This is not a blanket action as all individuals had to have met the criteria of completing incarceration, supervised probation and parole. The restoration of rights includes the right to vote, serve on a jury, run for public office and become a notary.
