AZ HB2259

Requires courts to inform individuals convicted of felony offenses at sentencing that their voting rights are automatically restored upon discharge from probation or absolute discharge from imprisonment.

Establishes automatic restoration of voting rights for first-time felony offenders upon final discharge, without requiring victim restitution to be paid first.

Establishes automatic restoration of voting rights for repeat felony offenders upon final discharge, making voting rights restoration automatic rather than discretionary through court application.

Defines "final discharge" as completion of probation or receipt of absolute discharge from the state department of corrections or federal bureau of prisons.

Exempts voting rights restoration from the requirement to file an application under section 13-908, making the process automatic for all convicted felons upon discharge.
