If you have been convicted of a non-violent felony and have been released from supervised probation for a minimum of three years, restoring your voting rights only requires the completion of a one-page application to the Secretary of the Commonwealth. In the end the Governor has sole discretion to decide whether or not to restore your rights.

If you have been convicted of a violent felony, drug or election law offense and have been released from supervised probation for a minimum of five years a longer application to the Secretary of the Commonwealth is required. In the end the Governor has sole discretion to decide whether or not to restore your rights.

You must have paid all costs and fines related to your conviction and any costs and fines from traffic court before your application will be considered. Also you cannot have a DWI conviction within the past five years immediately preceding your application.
