Voting

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
