Restoring Civil Rights After a Felony in Alaska

Most Alaska civil rights return automatically at 'unconditional discharge', when the person is released from all disability under the sentence, including probation and parole. Voting: a person disqualified for a felony involving moral turpitude may register again on unconditional discharge, and the commissioner of corrections must set procedures to advise discharged people of registration requirements. Jury service: a person convicted of a felony is disqualified from serving as a juror until unconditional discharge. Firearms: the ban on possessing a concealable firearm after a felony does not apply if the person received a pardon, the conviction was set aside, or 10 years or more have passed since unconditional discharge and the prior conviction was not for a crime against the person under AS 11.41 (or a similar law elsewhere).
