What should I do if I have been convicted of a felony or judged to be mentally incompetent?

Persons convicted of a felony, who want their voting rights restored, must apply to the Governor. For information, write the Secretary of the Commonwealth:
P.O. Box 2454
Richmond VA 23201-2454. 


Persons judged by a circuit court to be mentally incompetent, who want their rights restored, must obtain a court order restoring their competency.
