Iowa eases felon voting restoration process
Governor Branstad announced changes that ease restoration for felons by dropping the requirement to pay all court debts, credit history checks, and onerous questions. Applicants still face 29 questions and a $15 criminal history check, but the path is simplified with clearer instructions and help lines. The move aims to balance rights with accountability while critics urge fuller automatic restoration.
