A proposed constitutional amendment in Virginia, Ballot Question 3 could automatically restore voting rights for Virginians who have completed a prison sentence after a felony conviction. Critics of the proposed voting rights restoration amendment say there should be a process before a person’s voting rights are restored.

As part of VPM News’ Amending Virginia series, State Politics Reporter Jahd Khalil spoke with Sandra Alcaide, Regent University law professor and former prosecutor about why she thinks the proposed amendment isn't the answer.
