Constitutional amendment (first resolution); qualifications to vote; executive clemency; restoration of right to vote. Provides that no person convicted of a felony shall be qualified to vote unless he has completed service of his sentence, including any modifications of the sentence, and the payment in full of any restitution, fines, costs, and fees assessed against him as a result of the felony conviction.
