Alabama

The Law:

Felons on probation, in prison or on parole cannot vote. Felons convicted of crimes of “moral turpitude” remain disfranchised even when their sentences are complete. In August 2006, an Alabama judge ordered the legislature to clearly define the phrase “moral turpitude,” because there has been much confusion over its definition. In the interim, anyone convicted of a crime previously determined not to be of “moral turpitude” may vote.
