Ex-convicts can learn how to restore voting rights

Posted: Updated:

A south Georgia group is working to educate ex-convicts about their voting rights.

Most offenders can have their voting rights restored once they've fully completed their sentences, including probation.

Post Release Intervention Counseling Services will hold a voter registration drive Saturday. Anyone can register, but they're especially reaching out to ex-offenders.

The drive will be at the Southside Pool Room on Highland Avenue in Albany from 12 to 3.
