This bill requires the Federal Bureau of Prisons to help incarcerated people vote in federal, state, and local elections by sending them voting information at least 90 days before each election. The Bureau must notify inmates about voter registration and absentee ballot requests through the prison computer system and make information available in physical postings at facilities and online. Re-entry coordinators at each federal prison will receive voter registration materials, including printed forms and prepaid envelopes, to distribute to inmates who are eligible to vote under their home state's laws. The Bureau must provide all materials in both English and Spanish when states offer them in those languages, and must offer assistance to inmates with disabilities who need help registering. The bill affects incarcerated individuals in federal prisons who are residents of states that permit inmates to vote while in custody.
