Can I vote while on parole or probation?

Yes, you can vote while on parole or probation in the state of Kansas. Staying connected and engaged in civic life, including voting, is important to successful reintegration into the community. Voting is one way that you, as an individual, can shape the future of your community. In Kansas, the Department of Corrections and local community corrections offices can provide voting registration forms to those on parole and those who are on probation. This right applies even if you are not currently living in Kansas, as long as you are living in the United States. These forms must be sent by the Department of Corrections to the county election office in the county of your last address before your conviction. In order to vote, you must be on a Kansas voter registration list and have completed your prison term, parole and/or probation. Additionally, persons who are not U.S. citizens but who have been lawfully admitted to the U.S. and are at least 18 years old can also vote in Kansas if they are on the voter registration list. It is important to note that if you are on probation for a felony offense, your right to vote may be taken away. In order to regain your voting rights, you would need to discharge your probation. Overall, voting is an important part of civic life and those on parole or probation in Kansas have the right to vote. By doing so, you can stay engaged with your community and hold elected officials accountable for their decisions.
