DeKalb Sheriff Jeffrey L. Mann hosted a team of county NAACP volunteers this week to register inmates to vote.
In less than a half day, they found more than 130 eligible inmates at the county jail to register in the NAACP's "Voices Behind Bars" campaign.
"Some of the current inmates may be released in time to vote in the November General Election, but they must be registered to do so," Mann explained in a news release. "As well, many inmates have never registered. Every citizen should be able to execute their right to vote, and we are glad to help make that possible."
The inmates are non-felons whose voting rights haven't been stripped.
