Fig. 3.2. Unequal Distribution of Ineligible Voters

Figure 3.2 shows the ineligible voters by state. While a general increase in both non-citizen and felony-ineligible voters can be observed in almost all states, the ineligible populations are not evenly distributed across the country.

Use the year filter at the top of the figure to see how the number change over time.
