California Assembly Constitutional Amendment 4 (Bryan et. al. including Bonta) - "This bill would repeal that requirement regarding the disqualification of electors incarcerated for felony convictions, thereby authorizing an otherwise qualified elector serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony to vote."
