Restoration of Voting Rights
Learn how to Restore your Voting Rights
If you have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor and you have been discharged from supervision, you may have your voting rights restored.
If you are on supervision solely for a Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS), you are already able to vote because an SIS is not considered a conviction. In Missouri, upon completion of a sentence, probation and/or parole, you are eligible to have your voting rights restored as long as your conviction was not associated with voting rights offenses.
To restore this right, you will need to:
- Have an official Letter of Discharge or other appropriate documentation from the Department of Corrections, and…
- have updated your voter registration or completed a new registration application form.
You may register to vote at the County Clerk’s office, the DMV or by mail at a participating state agency. Be sure to take the appropriate documentation with you when you visit any of these offices for the purpose of restoring your voting rights.
