What Civil Rights Can Be Restored?
A felony conviction in Arizona automatically results in the loss of several important civil rights, including:
- The right to vote
- The right to serve on a jury
- The right to hold or run for public office
- The right to possess or own firearms
- The ability to apply for certain professional or occupational licenses
Upon completion of all sentencing terms, first-time offenders can automatically restore many civil rights. For others, working with an experienced Eloy civil and gun rights lawyer guarantees the proper handling of every form, deadline, and filing.
Am I Eligible to Restore My Rights?
There are a few things that determine whether you can get your rights back, such as the type of conviction, how many offenses you have, and how long it has been since you finished your sentence or probation. Overall:
- First-time felony convictions: Civil rights may be restored automatically.
- Multiple felony convictions: You must file a petition to have your civil rights restored.
- Firearm rights: Always require a separate petition, regardless of the number of convictions.
- Violent or weapon-related felonies: These cases may involve longer waiting periods or additional restrictions.
