Back in July, Nebraska state officials illegally suspended the right to vote for tens of thousands of people. In a major 5–2 decision handed down Wednesday, the state Supreme Court ordered them to restore voting rights to citizens who have completed their criminal sentences, just nine days before the state’s voter registration deadline.

Felons in Nebraska who have completed their sentences can register to vote and participate in the Nov. 5 general election, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.

Legislators voted to restore voting rights to more people convicted of felonies, but a dispute over that law’s constitutionality created pre-election confusion.
