Alaska disenfranchises people with convictions for felonies "involving moral turpitude." Although the phrase "moral turpitude" is unclear, the Department of Corrections has adopted a definition of "moral turpitude." Since your felony conviction is not on the Department of Corrections list, you are eligible to vote, even if you are incarcerated or on parole or probation.

Because you have more than one felony, your voting rights have not been automatically restored. But you are likely eligible for expungement of certain marijuana-related convictions, which may lead to automatic restoration of your voting rights.

Under a new law passed in 2021, convictions for any of following Arizona crimes must be expunged by a court upon petition:

1. Possessing, consuming or transporting two and one-half ounces or less of marijuana, of which not more than twelve and one-half grams was in the form of marijuana concentrate.

2. Possessing, transporting, cultivating or processing not more than six marijuana plants at the individual's primary residence for personal use.

3. Possessing, using or transporting paraphernalia relating to the cultivation, manufacture, processing or consumption of marijuana.

If one or more of your convictions were for one of these Arizona state crimes, having the record(s) expunged can clear the path for restoration of your voting rights. Because the courts must grant expungement to an eligible person who applies, we recommend taking advantage of this process before pursuing restoring your voting rights in court. There is no cost to file the petition and certain organizations are providing free legal assistance.

You can get help starting the process through the Arizona Justice Project.

Confirm your eligibility for expungement here, then sign up to get help at a free legal clinic here or use their online tool to fill out the paperwork yourself.

If this process expunges all of your convictions, you are eligible to register and vote. If it expunges all but one of your convictions, you will be eligible to vote as long as you have completed your sentence, including probation and parole, and paid any restitution. We recommend returning to this website and answering the questions again without considering any expungable convictions to understand its effect.

Unfortunately, you are not eligible to vote right now. Since this is not your first felony conviction, you must petition to the court to restore your right to vote two years after your completion of your sentence.

Gather proof that you have completed your felony sentence, including probation, parole, and payment of all fines and fees related to your felony convictions.  

If you do not have those documents, contact the Department of Corrections (870-267-6999), the Department of Community Correction (501-682-9510), or your local probation office to request proof/documentation that you have completed your sentence paid all related fees, court costs, fines, and/or restitution.

Georgia law creates three exceptions to the rule that a felony temporarily takes away the right to vote. Your right to vote is not lost if one of the following is true for your felony conviction(s):

• You pled nolo contendere (“no contest”), even if you are still serving a felony sentence. (O.C.G.A. § 17-7-95);

or

• You were sentenced under the First Offender Act AND your sentence has not been revoked. (O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60).

or

• You were sentenced under the Conditional Discharge statute AND your sentence has not been revoked. (O.C.G.A. § 16-13-2).

If any of the above applies to your felony conviction(s), you remain eligible to vote, even while serving your sentence.

You are not eligible to vote yet, but you may be eligible for early termination of your probation, which would restore your voting rights.

Under a law passed in 2021, you are eligible to be considered for early termination if you have (1) served at least three years on probation, (2) no new arrests; (3) no probation revocations in the past 24 months; and (4) paid all your restitution, if any was imposed (this does not include fines or fees).

If you meet those criteria, you should ask your probation officer to submit an order to terminate your probation to the sentencing court. You do not need an attorney to start the early termination process.

The judge will decide whether to terminate your probation. If your probation is terminated, you will still have to register to vote.

For more information about early termination, visit the Georgia Justice Project.

Unfortunately, you are not eligible to vote right now. Your right to vote will be restored when your sentence ends, including parole and probation and discharge of fines.

Under Georgia law, a person convicted of a felony who does not meet one of the above exceptions cannot register to vote until they have completed their sentence and discharged any fines. It is important to note that not all legal debt is a fine and that some fines which were imposed as a condition of probation are automatically cancelled upon completion of probation. That means that most people who have finished probation no longer owe fines.

For assistance looking into your possible fines, please contact us at [email protected].

If you are not sure if you owe fines, you can request a Certificate of Completion of your sentence from the Department of Community Supervision.
