If the person was convicted of two or more felony offenses, either in a single criminal case or in separate cases, the individual (or their attorney) must petition the court that sentenced them for restoration of their civil rights, including the right to vote.
Some sentences have a time limit dependent on the type of conviction. If the sentence only applies to a period of probation the petition can be filed as soon as the individual has completed probation, A.R.S. § 13-905. If a prison sentence was given, the petition can be filed two years after the prison sentence and any parole or community service has been completed, A.R.S. § 13-906. Persons sentenced with lifetime probation are not eligible for rights restoration under statute.
After a petition is sent to the court a judge must decide whether to grant the petition or not.
