Can A Felon Vote In Oklahoma?
Individuals convicted of a felony are ineligible to vote from the time of judgment and sentencing until the full sentence has expired, regardless of whether or not an individual has been paroled. Those convicted of a felony who receive a deferred sentence will retain their voting rights, provided the individual does not violate probation. Those who receive a full pardon for a felony conviction may re-register as a voter once the pardon has been issued. In Oklahoma, it is the individual’s responsibility to refrain from any activity which may violate voting laws. Ex-offenders must re-register to have voting rights completely restored.
