March 23, 2007	Washington Post General Assembly Heads Toward Manic Monday Former felons would be allowed to register to vote under bills that moved closer to final passage in the House and the Senate. Under current Maryland law, people convicted of two or more felonies must wait three years after their sentences are completed before they can vote. Persons with two violent felony convictions cannot vote. The bills would repeal those restrictions. "It provides another incentive for an ex-offender to do the right thing," said Sen. Roy P. Dyson (D-St. Mary's). Two Republicans -- Sen. Alex X. Mooney (Frederick) and Sen. Nancy Jacobs (Harford) -- tried to amend the bill in the Senate to prohibit those who are found guilty of two murders or sexual abuse against minors from being able to vote. Both amendments failed.
