RESTORE MY VOTE: VOTING AFTER A FELONY IN KANSAS

 * Facebook

Para Español, apaga aqui.

In Kansas, when people are convicted of a felony, they lose the ability to
vote—this is called "felony disenfranchisement." What many people don't know is
that after you've completed your sentence (including any term of supervised
release), you can vote. 

Our Kansas voter restoration project, Restore My Vote, seeks to ensure every
eligible voter has the tools to be an active part of their community and make
their voice heard. Kansas’s partial felony disenfranchisement does more than
legally prevent Kansans from voting during their sentence – even after they
become eligible again, it creates confusion, obstacles to vote, and discourages
them from persisting even if denied incorrectly. Some community members have
reported that when registering to vote with their local election offices after
becoming eligible, they were initially denied based on outdated court records. 

If you have completed your sentence, including probation and parole, you can
register to vote. This means you've completed any incarceration, probation, or
parole and have been officially discharged. This does not include registration
as an offender under KORA -- being required to register under KORA does not
disqualify you from registering to vote because it is not considered part of
your sentence.

We are working with Free Our Vote, an organization committed to restoring the
vote for Americans with felony convictions. ACLU of Kansas has partnered with
them to gather information from public court records so we can reach out and
inform justice impacted Kansans of their voting rights. You can find more
information about Free Our Vote here.

Democracy is the tool we use to hold those in power accountable, and
system-impacted Kansans have first-hand experience with our state's policies.
Their voice is vital in our decision-making process.
