Abstract
Offenders convicted of a felony are restricted from exercising a number of civil rights. This paper surveys the statutes for each state in order to determine the available legal methods for restoring a convicted individual's civil rights. Specifically, the methods investigated in the statutes were pardon, expungement of conviction, and the automatic restoration of civil rights upon the completion of sentence. While the number of restoration procedures varied by state, the southern region of the nation had the fewest opportunities for offenders to restore their civil rights.
