A person loses the right to vote if convicted as an adult of a felony under Washington state law, and is ineligible to vote while incarcerated for a felony sentence imposed under any state or federal law. However, the right to vote is restored automatically once the person is no longer under the supervision of the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC), and has completed any period of incarceration imposed as part of a felony sentence imposed by any state or federal court. This chart will help you find out if a person who has a criminal conviction is eligible to vote.
