Restoration of Voting Rights After a Felony Conviction

Once an individual is convicted of a felony, their right to vote is suspended until the imposed judgment and sentence is discharged by the State of New Mexico Corrections Department and the County Clerk’s Office Bureau Of Elections receives a copy of the official Certificate of Discharge.

By law we will be unable to process any voter registration application or request for change until we receive your discharge certificate.

You may submit your discharge certificate in 3 ways:

• Mail in a copy of your discharge certificate and written request to have your voter rights re-instated to:

• Stop by our office with your certificate of discharge and ask to have your voting rights re-instated.
