Voting Rights After a Felony in Alaska

In Alaska, a person convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude under state or federal law may not vote in a state, federal or municipal election from the date of the conviction through the date of the person's unconditional discharge, meaning release from all disability arising under the sentence, including probation and parole. On unconditional discharge the person may register to vote again; no waiting period or separate application is required beyond registering. 'Felony involving moral turpitude' is defined broadly to include crimes such as murder, assault, sexual assault, robbery, burglary, theft, forgery, arson, criminal mischief and misconduct involving a controlled substance.
