Voting in Missouri with a criminal conviction/Information provided by American Civil Liberties Union.

[Ester Holzendorf]

If you were convicted of any felony in a state or federal court, you are barred from voting: (1) while incarcerated (2) while on probation (3) while on parole.

If you were convicted of a misdemeanor, you only lose the right to vote while incarcerated. If you were convicted of a felony or misdemeanor relating to election laws, you are permanently disfranchised unless you receive a pardon from the Governor.

Once you have completed your sentence, you can register or re-register to vote. You do not need to show any special documentation.

Register to vote at your post office, public assistance office, or DMV, or download a voter registration form.

Vote to empower yourself. Vote because your voice is important and deserves to be heard.
