What to Know
A lot of people with conviction records in Arizona think they can’t vote—but that’s not always true. We break it down so you know exactly where you stand.
Here's what you need to know:
Arizona has some of the strictest and most complicated voting laws in the country—and they've changed in recent years. That makes it hard to know your status if you have a conviction history. But the truth is: many people with records in Arizona can vote.
Our 100% anonymous quiz helps you figure out whether your rights have been automatically restored or if you need to ask the court to restore them.
No Votes Barred also provides information on how to reduce charges, expunge marijuana convictions, and get legal support—for free.
Set Asides, Expungement & Class 6 Undesignated Felonies in Arizona
If you have a conviction from an Arizona court, you may be able to reduce its impact—and even restore your right to vote—through a set aside, expungement, or reduction of a Class 6 felony.
-
A set aside releases you from the penalties of a conviction and adds a note to your record saying the conviction has been set aside. It doesn’t seal your record, but it may help with employment, housing, and rights restoration.
You may qualify if:
The conviction is from an Arizona state court
Your sentence is complete
The conviction was not for:
A dangerous offense
A sex offense or one with sexual motivation
A felony involving a minor under 15
How to apply:
Submit an application to the Superior Court Clerk where you were convicted.
