Voting

Office of the Secretary of State

• Felons and Voting Rights [1]

ACLU Voting

• Individuals with adult felony convictions have their right to vote restored automatically once they have completed incarceration and any required Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) community custody. The right to vote is restored even if the person still owes court fines, restitution, or other legal financial obligations (LFOs). This pamphlet addresses some common questions regarding the voting rights of individuals with felony convictions. If you experience any problems trying to register to vote or receive misinformation about the law from a government official, please contact the ACLU of Washington at 206.624.2180 or submit a request for help online at www.aclu-wa.org/gethelp

CROP

Certificate if Restoration of Opportunities Act (CROP) from Columbia Legal Services [47]

• When someone with a criminal record turns their life around, we all win. That’s the spirit of redemption and it’s in all our best interest – as neighbors, family, friends, co-workers, employers, and law enforcement – that they have the opportunity to work hard and find stable housing. However, until now tens of thousands of Washington residents who had paid their dues were not given a second chance. Even though they were leading law-abiding lives and were qualified for a particular job, they couldn’tBarber get a professional license and their careers were stalled. At some point we have to open the door to opportunity and allow people to move on with their lives so they contribute fully to our community and economy. The Certificate of Restoration of Opportunities Act (CROP), a bill developed to remove barriers to occupational licenses for qualified applicants who have a criminal history, aims to do just that.
