an arrest or conviction record
That’s over 85 million people — and most of them can vote. However, in 2020, The Marshall Project found that across several states, only 25% of formerly incarcerated people who could vote were registered. It’s no surprise. Misinformation about voting rights keeps many justice-impacted people away from the polls. We want to change that!
What is No Votes Barred?
We’re a non-partisan campaign helping people with conviction records understand their voting rights quickly, easily, and anonymously through a simple online quiz. Working in partnership with organizers, advocates, and legal experts, we fight misinformation and empower eligible individuals to reclaim their votes.
First launched in Georgia in 2022, No Votes Barred expanded to Arizona in 2024.
More states to come.
If you are a Georgian or Arizonan with a conviction record and need help understanding your voting rights, we’ve got you covered.
