Past Felons Can Vote in Pennsylvania

Information for people who have been convicted of a felony
Even if you have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor or are in pretrial detention you may be able to vote.

"On December 26, 2000, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the law in Pennsylvania that governs whether people convicted of a felony could vote was not constitutional.

This law used to say that people convicted of a felony could not register to vote for 5 years after their release from prison. This is no longer true. "
