I have a conviction. How can I find out if my voting rights have been restored?
  • You maintain the right to vote with a misdemeanor conviction, or a conviction in juvenile court, even if you are still in jail.
  • Citizens with felony convictions have their right to vote restored automatically as long as you are not currently serving a sentence of total confinement in prison.
  • If you were convicted of a felony in another state or in federal court, your right to vote is restored automatically, provided you are not currently incarcerated for that felony.
  • Once your rights are restored, you must register in order to vote.  If you were registered before your conviction, you must re-register.  You do not need a certificate of discharge to register to vote.
