Voting After a Conviction
C.R.S. 1-2-103 — no vote only while serving a felony sentence of confinement
No one in Colorado may register or vote while serving a sentence of detention or confinement in a correctional facility, jail or other location for a felony conviction.
Who handles this in Colorado: legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Colorado directory.
A person in jail awaiting trial, or confined but not serving a felony sentence, may register and vote, certified by the institution's administrator as the section describes.
