Voting Rights Restoration Clinics

Last updated on July 10, 2017

Voting Rights Restoration Clinics

Based on the Alabama Constitution, people who commit "crimes of moral turpitude" lose their right to vote. Some may be eligible to restore their voting rights. ACLU of Alabama, Legal Services Alabama, and The Ordinary Peoples Society are teaming up to provide clinics across the state to help people who have felony convictions navigate this process in order to restore their voting rights.

    Upcoming Clinic Dates

    If you are interested in volunteering at one of the clinics or have a clinic date you would like added to our list, please email [email protected].

      Voting is more than a privilege, it's a right

      This weekend marks the beginning of a statewide voting rights restoration campaign that the ACLU of Alabama and Legal Services Alabama are partnering on. Historically, anyone who commits a crime of moral turpitude loses their right to vote in Alabama; however, it has never been clear what specifically was a crime of moral turpitude, which has resulted in inconsistency and confusion across the state.
