Summary
Argued January 15, 1974.Decided June 24, 1974.
Justice NELSON delivered the opinion of the Court.1
This case addresses whether it is constitutional to deny the right to vote based on a citizen’s past criminal conviction. For the reasons stated below, we hold that California’s composite legal scheme that denies voting rights to persons who have fully discharged their sentences of incarceration or parole violates both the letter and the spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment.
