The Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa that modifies the criteria for individuals entitled to the privilege of an elector, which encompasses the right to vote and hold elected office. Specifically, the amendment seeks to repeal Section 5 of Article II, which currently disqualifies individuals adjudged mentally incompetent from voting, while also removing the prohibition against individuals convicted of an infamous crime from exercising their electoral rights.

If adopted, the proposed amendment will be published and referred to the next general assembly for consideration. Following this, it will be submitted to the electorate for ratification during the next general election. This resolution aims to clarify and potentially expand the rights of individuals regarding their participation in the electoral process in Iowa.
