In Arizona, all felony convictions take away the right to vote and the path to restoration depends on how many convictions you have and whether they occurred in Arizona state court or other jurisdictions.
If you only have one felony conviction, your civil rights, including your right to vote, are automatically restored after you complete your sentence, including probation and parole, and pay any required victim restitution. If your conviction was in Arizona state court, you can register to vote. If it was in federal or another state’s court, you should request a court order confirming that you are eligible.
If you have multiple felony convictions, you need to petition a court to have your rights restored. You must first complete probation, parole or prison. Applications can take up to 90 days.
If your conviction was in another state, your voting rights are restored if your civil rights were restored in the state of conviction.
Check your eligibility to find out if you can vote and what steps you may need to take.
