information registrars require^ from persons registering to^ vote. If the amendment is^ approved, registrars will no ^ longer record the person’s^ marital status and oc- -ft cupation. But a person would -ft be required to give his or her -^1 prior legal names. -^1
The other amendment^ would allow the assembly to-^i restore the voting rights of-ft :onvicted felons after the <+i person served his or her + sentence. Under current law, >nly the governor or another + luthorized person can restore 4* i felon’s voting rights. ^
