Episode Details

Alaska’s voting rights restoration rules are surprisingly generous: once you’re fully discharged from prison and all supervision—probation or parole—is complete, your right to vote returns. You’ll need a letter from the Department of Corrections to re-register, but it’s not automatic—only certain felonies, like murder or drug offenses, strip you of the ballot. Even if you’re awaiting trial on felony charges, you can still vote. The state’s Department of Corrections is now actively helping inmates navigate this process, with forms and notices at every facility, while the ACLU of Alaska is running workshops to ensure no one gets left behind.
