Voting Rights After a Felony in Wyoming

A person convicted of a felony cannot vote while in prison, on parole or on probation, and stays disqualified until rights are restored. A person convicted of a nonviolent felony (or several nonviolent felonies from the same occurrence) who has no other felony conviction gets voting rights back automatically: the Department of Corrections issues a certificate of restoration of voting rights once the whole sentence, including probation or parole, is complete (people who finished before January 1, 2010, or were convicted in another state, must send a written request). People convicted of a violent felony must apply to the Governor, who may restore rights after the sentence expires or probation is completed. A new felony conviction voids any certificate.
