Description

RESTORATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS Arizona Restoration of Civil Rights is a process through which individuals who have been convicted of a felony can have their civil rights restored. This process includes the restoration of the right to vote, the right to serve on a jury, the right to hold public office, the right to possess firearms, and the right to obtain professional licenses. In order for an individual to have their civil rights restored, they must be free from supervision, have no pending charges, and have met all the requirements of their sentence. There are two types of Arizona Restoration of Civil Rights. The first is Automatic Restoration, which applies to individuals who have been convicted of non-violent felonies. These individuals may be eligible for an automatic restoration of their civil rights without any additional steps. The second type of Arizona Restoration of Civil Rights is Discretionary Restoration, which allows individuals who have been convicted of violent felonies to petition the court for the restoration of their civil rights. The court will consider factors such as the person’s criminal history, their conduct since their conviction, and the nature of the offense when making a decision.
