Alaska disenfranchises people with convictions for felonies "involving 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.

If you were convicted of felonies in more than one county, you should apply in each county for the convictions in that county. The process may take up to 90 days. 

You can find your county’s clerk of court here.

With your application, you should include either your absolute discharge or documentation of your discharge from 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 after you complete your sentence including probation and parole.

You are eligible to restore your right to vote! You just need to complete a few final steps.  

Step One:

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.  

These agencies are required by law to provide you with such documentation. 

Step Two:

Deliver your proof of completion of your sentence along with a voter registration form to your local county clerk. 

You can find a list of county clerks here. You can mail the form and proof of completion to the county clerk or deliver them in person. The voter registration form will be available at the county clerk’s office or you can print it out here. The form is available in Spanish here.

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.

There have been significant changes to the voting rights restoration process in Tennessee. As of May 2025, the only way to restore voting rights in Tennessee is to petition the circuit county of the county where you were convicted or where you reside.

These changes should not impact people who already restored their right to vote prior to May 2, 2025. If you have already restored your right to vote but experience difficulty registering to vote, please contact us.

Additionally, as of May 2, 2025, no felony convictions prior to May 18, 1981 impact the right to vote. If your only felony convictions were before that date, you have not lost your right to vote.

To be eligible to petition for voting rights restoration, you must have completed your sentence, including probation and parole, paid all victim restitution and court costs, unless you can show that you are low-income and unable to pay. Petitioners must also be current on the payment of any child support obligations. You cannot have been convicted of certain crimes during particular time periods.

Answer the below questions to determine if you are eligible to petition and to receive instructions on how to start the process.

All Virginians lose the right to vote upon conviction for a felony and can only be restored the right to vote through individual clemency from the governor. If your only felony convictions were in another state, your right to vote in Virginia is restored if your right to vote has been restored in the state of conviction. Check your eligibility in the state of conviction by selecting that state above. If your right to vote was not restored in the state of conviction, you can still apply to the governor of Virginia for clemency.

Previous governors automatically issued clemency to all people who completed probation or parole. Governor Youngkin recently changed this policy and is now requiring individual applications for clemency to restore voting rights. People who finished their prison sentences before January 2023 may have been already restored the right to vote but you must confirm that you have been restored on the Secretary of the Commonwealth's portal before you register to vote.

All others should begin by checking their status on the Secretary of the Commonwealth's portal.

If the portal shows that your voting rights have not yet been restored, you can apply for clemency through that website.

If it shows that your voting rights have been restored, we recommend printing or requesting a copy of the certificate of clemency and you can register to vote.

Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns about your status or the application process: [email protected].
