The New Jersey Legislature: Post Referendum Question on Non Violent Offenders Right to Vote WHILE ON PAROLE OR PROBATION
Updates
April 3, 2013
The momentum behind this push is proof that New Jersey is tired of the state legislature actively silencing citizens who have paid their dues. We are forcing them to look at the reality of this disenfranchisement and they can no longer ignore the growing demand for basic democratic rights.

We need to encourage people to participate in our community not block them from it. letting them vote is a step toward fixing the system.
They served their time. Let them vote. Simple as that.
My brother is on probation and he works two jobs and pays his taxes. He shouldnt be treated like a second class citizen just because of a mistake he made years ago.
DO IT. NJ is so behind on this.
it is time to stop this. people are trying to get back on their feet and this just keeps them down.
