Learn how individuals with prior convictions can have their voting rights restored. CDCR Secretary Jeff Macomber and Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber explain the initiative.
You can register to vote if you are:
- A U.S. citizen and a resident of California
- 18 years old or older on Election Day
- Not currently found mentally incompetent to vote by a court
- Not currently serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony
If you have a misdemeanor conviction, are on parole or probation, or on post-release community supervision, you may still be eligible to vote under specific conditions.
Learn more at votingrightsrestored.sos.ca.gov and visit registertovote.ca.gov to check your eligibility and register.
