YES! If you were convicted of a felony in Washington, your right to vote is restored once you complete your sentence and are not currently serving a sentence of total confinement in prison. Once your right to vote is restored, you must re-register to vote in order to receive a ballot. If the felony conviction is from another state or in federal court, your right to vote is restored as long as you are not currently incarcerated for that felony.
