(Richmond)- Virginia Organizing led a march from Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church to the Governor’s Mansion over the weekend to protest Governor Youngkin’s policy change regarding the restoration of voting rights. It comes after governor Youngkin’s administration changed the policy in March from the nearly automatic process established by past governors. Now, returning citizens must apply to have their voting rights restored through the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Office. After they apply, officials say each application will be considered on an individual basis, according to the law.
