Virginia Civil Rights Restoration Guide
December 3, 2011
Advancement Project is publishing an updated version of its “Virginia Civil Rights Restoration Guide" to assist disenfranchised people, their families and friends, community leaders, and volunteers with navigating the restoration process. It is the first of a series of community tools offered by Advancement Project to support community members’ efforts to restore their civil rights. As a supplement to the guide, Advancement Project will also offer training for community groups on how to undergo the process starting in January 2012.
The 37-page restoration guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to determine eligibility and how to apply directly to the Governor for restoration or petition the court for initial review. It also contains application forms, criminal code reference tables, public notary information, and instructions on how to obtain or correct identification. The guide is available in both English and Spanish.
