Restoring Felons Voting rights in Alabama<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
\nimage source: https:\/\/www.aclualabama.org\/en\/voting-rights-restoration<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n If your felony would not need a pardon, you may opt for a CERV on completion of your sentence \u2013 including periods of probation or parole as well as remittance of all court fees, fines, cost, and restitution to victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For applications to the Board of Pardons and Parole, call 888-685-7979 \u2013 ACLU\u2019s contact \u2013 or download the application form<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typically, the Board of Pardons and Parole responds to pardon request within 50 days after applying. The Board must grant your pardon request if you found guilty of any of the crimes listed above. Your application must state, clearly, your intention to request restoration of your voting right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the court, sometimes, pardons a felon without restoring their voting rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the court responds to your request without stating, explicitly, the restoration of your vote right, then you\u2019ve been pardoned but still ineligible to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, felony, including treason, a child, rape, or murder, may not be pardoned \u2013 they bar the convict\u2019s voting rights for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does your conviction allow you regain your voting right at completion of sentences and satisfaction of other legal terms? If yes, you can get an application form from your county court, local post office, WIC program, DMV, community center, parole or probation office, NAACP chapter, or welfare office. You can also download the form<\/a> online<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, the right of offenders vary across states<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
