Would add a fundamental right to vote to the Constitution. A person convicted of a felony would lose that right during incarceration and get it back on release without applying to the Governor. Only a court finding that a person doesn't understand the act of voting could otherwise take it away.
A yes vote Adds the right to vote and restores it automatically on release from incarceration. A no vote Keeps the current rule: a person convicted of a felony loses the right to vote for life unless the Governor restores it.
