A person convicted of a crime (felony or misdemeanor) related to voting is ineligible to vote again unless such person is pardoned by the governor and, after such pardon, the election authority determines that such person is eligible to vote.

​

A person may not vote if he or she is currently imprisoned for any crime. 

​

A person that is convicted of a misdemeanor but is not sentenced to imprisonment does not lose eligibility to vote. 

 

A person that is convicted of a misdemeanor and sentenced to imprisonment automatically regains eligibility to vote after such person is released from imprisonment.

 

A person convicted of a felony automatically regains eligibility to vote after such person has fully completed his/her sentence, including probation or parole.

​

Any person whose name was removed from the voter registration list on the basis of a criminal conviction who subsequently becomes eligible to vote must re-register in order to have her or his name restored to the statewide voter registration system.
