That is correct. NE law already allowed felons who had served their time to vote two years after completion of a sentence. A new law eliminated the two-year wait. The SOS refused to allow felons who had served their terms to register. This decision found that the SOS had to allow the voter registrations.
What is the deadline to register for felons who have served their time? Am I mistaken in my impression that the Nebraska Supreme Court intentionally sat on this for a long time, rather than making a decision in a timely manner?
NE Supreme Court just ordered the SOS to allow felons to vote overturning the illegal actions of the SOS. https://supremecourt.nebraska.gov/courts/supreme-court/opinions
I assume you mean people who've already done their time, not currently imprisoned people.
