The "Inclusive Democracy Act of 2026" seeks to ensure that all United States citizens retain their right to vote in federal elections, irrespective of any criminal conviction. This protection applies to convictions occurring before, on, or after the bill's enactment, establishing a fundamental right that cannot be denied or abridged by the United States or any State. A key provision of the bill requires extensive notification regarding voting rights. States and federal courts must inform individuals at the time of conviction that their right to vote in federal elections remains intact. Furthermore, federal, state, and local probation/parole offices, as well as carceral settings, must provide written notification to individuals under their jurisdiction about these voting eligibility changes. The Election Assistance Commission is tasked with a national public service announcement campaign, and the Department of Justice must publish updated guidance on voting rights for individuals with criminal records. The legislation also focuses on enhancing access to the ballot for incarcerated individuals. Carceral settings are mandated to offer voter registration opportunities, providing individuals with federal mail voter registration application forms. These facilities must then transmit completed forms to election officials promptly, with expedited transmission required close to registration deadlines. For registered incarcerated voters, the bill guarantees the right to vote by mail via absentee ballot. Carceral settings must provide absentee ballot applications upon request and ensure timely transmission of both applications and completed ballots. States are prohibited from refusing to accept applications or ballots based on certain deadlines or electronic submission methods, and prepaid postage is required for election materials. To further support voting access, the bill requires carceral settings that provide internet access to allow incarcerated individuals to research candidates and voting procedures. It also mandates that these facilities permit candidates, campaigns, and non-partisan groups to distribute voter educational materials. Additionally, non-partisan entities providing voter registration services must be granted access to carceral settings, with specific prohibitions against restricting access based on an individual's prior incarceration or visitor status. The Act includes robust enforcement mechanisms, allowing both the Attorney General and aggrieved individuals to seek declaratory or injunctive relief for violations. A private right of action is established, outlining procedures for individuals to pursue legal action if violations are not corrected within specified timeframes. Importantly, the bill stipulates that any provision susceptible to differing interpretations shall be construed in favor of the person seeking to register or vote, and it clarifies that its provisions supplement, rather than supersede, existing voting rights laws, while also allowing states to enact less restrictive voting measures.
