Petition to Support HB 1174: Improving Access to Voting for Incarcerated Individuals
We, the undersigned, support HB 1174, a bill aimed at improving access to voting for incarcerated individuals in Washington state. We believe that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, should have the opportunity to participate in our democracy.
Access to voting is a fundamental right that should not be denied to anyone, including those who are incarcerated. However, the current system disproportionately disenfranchises people of color, perpetuating systemic barriers to their full participation in our democracy.
HB 1174 seeks to address this inequity by providing voting registration, materials, and assistance in county jails, ensuring that all eligible individuals have the opportunity to vote. By supporting this bill, we are taking a step towards a more inclusive and equitable democracy.
We call on our legislators to support HB 1174 and take action to improve access to voting for all individuals, regardless of their circumstances. Join us in supporting this important legislation and ensuring that everyone's voice is heard.
