SUMMARY: As the presidential election approaches, there are questions about voting rights for convicted felons. Local criminal defense attorney Laval Solomon explains that voting rights are suspended only during incarceration, parole, or probation. First-time felony offenders can automatically regain voting rights after completing their sentence without needing a pardon. To fully restore rights, including firearms, one can apply for a gold seal pardon through the state pardon board. If parole or probation has ended, individuals simply need to register to vote.
