The North Carolina Supreme Court has issued an order to take up a case that will determine when about 56,000 felons regain the right to vote.
The justices granted a request to intervene in a pending appeals case centered on a 1973 law that spells out when convicted felons regain the right to vote in North Carolina.
A trial court in March issued a 2-1 split decision to overturn a 1973 law that prohibits felons from voting until their sentences are complete, including post-release probation or parole. The case stems from a 2019 lawsuit filed by the Raleigh-based Community Success Initiative, which claims the law violates the state constitution and was crafted with a racist intent.
