Whether and how to afford the right to vote to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals are questions that have long generated legal and policy controversy. This panel will address current approaches and challenges to offender re-enfranchisement and voting in correctional facilities. Our panelists will include Naila Awan (New York Civil Liberties Union), Professor Michael Massoglia, (UW Madison Sociology), Professor Michael Morse (Penn Carey Law School), and Professor Michael Leo Owens (Emory Political Science). The panel will be moderated by the Election Research Center’s Director, Professor Barry Burden.
