bullet::::- alabama – a person convicted of a felony loses the ability to vote if the felony involves moral turpitude. prior to 2017, the state attorney general and courts have decided this for individual crimes; however, in 2017, moral turpitude was defined by house bill 282 of 2017, signed into law by kay ivey on may 24, to constitute 47 specific offenses. if a convicted person loses the ability to vote based on having committed a defined act of moral turpitude, he can petition to have it restored by a pardon or by a certificate of eligibility; if the loss of elective franchise was based on a crime not under moral turpitude, eligibility to vote is automatically restored once all sentence conditions have been satisfied. prior to 2017, a person convicted of a number of crimes having to do with sexual assault or abuse, including sodomy, was ineligible to receive a certificate of eligibility; today, only impeachment and treason remain ineligible for a certificate of eligibility.
