A felony conviction affects life long after a sentence is complete. In Arizona, a felony can take away rights like voting, serving on a jury, running for public office, and legally owning a firearm. Fortunately, many people qualify to reclaim these rights through a formal restoration process.

Who Can Request Restoration of Their Rights?

A few key factors influence whether a person can request the return of their rights:

  • First-time felony convictions: Some civil rights may return once all sentencing requirements are completed. Firearm rights always require their own petition.
  • Multiple felony convictions: A formal request must be made to the court.
  • Firearm rights: These must always be petitioned separately, no matter how many convictions you have.
  • Felonies involving violence or weapons: These cases may involve additional restrictions, and in some situations firearm rights cannot be restored.

Arizona outlines the process through ARS 13-905 and ARS 13-910. Your attorney will look over your record and break down the options available to you.
