RESTORE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE IN ALABAMA FOR WHAT CRIMES OR TYPES OF CRIMES CAN I LOSE MY RIGHT TO VOTE? Persons convicted of crimes involving “moral turpitude” are prohibited from voting in Alabama. This includes all felonies and some misdemeanor crimes, including: · intent to defraud · theft and attempted theft · receipt of stolen property · bad checks · domestic violence · fraud · desertion from the military For a complete list of crimes involving moral turpitude you should check with your probation or parole officer. CAN I VOTE WHILE I'M INCARCERATED? No. CAN I VOTE WHILE I'M ON PROBATION? No. CAN I VOTE WHILE I'M ON PAROLE? Maybe. You can apply to restore your voting rights after completion of 3 consecutive years of successful parole. Your application must be based on innocence and requires the approval of the sentencing court and/or prosecuting attorney. CAN MY RIGHT TO VOTE BE TAKEN AWAY PERMANENTLY? Yes, unless you apply for and are granted a pardon or a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote from the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles. HOW DO I RESTORE MY RIGHT TO VOTE? You must receive a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote. If you are not eligible for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote, you must receive a pardon to regain your right to vote. WHEN AM I ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY TO REGISTER TO VOTE OR A PARDON? You are eligible to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote if you: 1) do not have felony criminal charges pending; and 2) have paid all fines, court costs, fees and victim restitution ordered by the sentencing court; 3) have either been released upon completion of sentence; 4) have been pardoned; or 5) have successfully completed probation or parole; and 6) were not convicted of any of the following crimes: impeachment, treason, murder, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse, incest, sexual torture, enticing a child to enter a vehicle for immoral purposes, soliciting a child by computer, production of obscene matter involving a minor, production or possession of obscene matter, parents or guardians permitting children to engage in obscene matter, or possession with intent to distribute child pornography. If you are not eligible for a Certificate of Eligibility to Vote, you must apply for a pardon to restore you right to vote. You are eligible to apply for a pardon: (1) after completion of a state or federal parole period; (2) after completion of a state or federal probation period; (3) after completion of a state jail sentence; (4) after completion of a full penitentiary sentence or federal sentence; or (5) after three years of successful parole in Alabama if your parole has not ended and if you have no other felony convictions. You may receive a pardon earlier if the Board of Pardons and Paroles votes unanimously to do so after receiving “clear proof” of your innocence as well as the written approval of the presiding judge or prosecuting attorney. HOW DO I APPLY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY TO REGISTER TO VOTE OR FOR A PARDON? For Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote Request an application form from the Board of Pardons and Paroles. After completing the application, return it to: The Board of Pardons and Paroles 500 Monroe Street Montgomery, Al 36130-3019 (334) 242-8700 For a Pardon If you are not eligible for a Certificate of Eligibility to Vote, you must apply for a pardon. To apply for a pardon, write to the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles in Montgomery and request an application for a pardon for restoration of your civil rights. Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles P.O. Box 302405 Montgomery, Alabama 36130-2405 1-334-242-8730 www.pardons.state.al.us (Note: If you were convicted under a city ordinance, you should apply for a pardon from the mayor of the city of conviction and not the Board of Pardons and Paroles in Montgomery.) Certain persons applying for a pardon, including felons convicted after May 6, 1994 and felons incarcerated as of that date, must submit a DNA sample as a mandatory condition of the pardon. If you are unsure whether your DNA sample is on file with the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, contact your probation or parole officer. WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD I INCLUDE IN MY REQUEST FOR A PARDON APPLICATION? Your request for a pardon should include the following information: 1. Name convicted under 2. True name 3. Sex and race 4. Date of birth 5. Social Security Number 6. AIS# (Alabama Prison number), if you have one 7. Current physical address including county 8. Current mailing address, if different 9. Indicate whether the conviction was a State or Federal conviction 10. Home telephone number 11. Work telephone number, if you have one 12. List of charges, county you were convicted in, and year of conviction WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION DOES THE PARDON APPLICATION REQUIRE? The application seeks information about the crime for which you lost your right to vote, and other basic personal information, including employment history and a list of references. WHO CAN I CALL FOR HELP WITH MY PARDON APPLICATION OR MY APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY TO REGISTER TO VOTE? If you have any questions about the restoration of your right to vote, you can reach the Board of Pardons and Paroles at: 1-334-242-8730. You may also contact your probation or parole officer for guidance on the process. MUST NOTICE BE GIVEN TO ANYONE BEFORE MY RIGHT TO VOTE CAN BE RESTORED? Yes, if you apply for a pardon. Thirty days notice must be provided to the following people before you may be granted a pardon: Alabama Attorney General, presiding judge, prosecuting attorney, and the chief of police in the city where the disqualifying crime occurred. Notice must also be given to the victim for certain enumerated crimes. Notice is not required if you apply for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE ONCE I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION FOR A PARDON OR FOR CERTIFICATE FOR ELIGIBILITY TO REGISTER TO VOTE? For pardon Once you submit your pardon application to the Board of Pardons and Paroles, it will be forwarded to a probation officer for completion of an in-depth investigation. The investigation may take up to one year to complete. The following matters will be investigated: 1. Have you committed any additional offenses since the disqualifying crime was committed? If so, your pardon application may be denied. 2. What is your personal, social and employment history? Are you currently employed? Your references will be contacted, including current and former employers, current and former spouses, as well as friends and family members. 3. Have you paid all restitution and court fees? If you have any outstanding fees or fines, including your annual supervision fee of $30.00, your pardon application may be denied. Once the investigation is complete, the investigating probation officer will write a report recommending approval or denial of your pardon application. Also, a letter is sent to the victim requesting input on whether to grant or deny your pardon application. Finally, a date for a hearing before a three-member panel of the Board of Pardons and Paroles will be set. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the hearing, which will be conducted at the following location: Lurleen B. Wallace Building, 2nd Floor 500 Monroe Street Montgomery, Alabama At your hearing, you will be allowed an opportunity to present your case before the three-member panel. Note that your attendance at the hearing is not mandatory. Notice of the hearing is provided to the appropriate authorities, as well as the victim. (See above). The victim will have an opportunity to oppose your pardon at the hearing. A three-member panel of the Board of Pardons and Paroles has ultimate authority to grant or deny your pardon application. For Certificate of Eligibility to Vote Once you apply, the board staff must give the Board members all reports and recommendations no later than 45 days from the date you apply. The certificate shall be granted unless a Board member objects to a staff member’s recommendation within 5 days.

  • The Fiscal Impact of Tax-Credit Scholarships in Oklahoma. State
    The Foundation for Educational Choice WWW.EDCHOICE.ORG STATE RESEARCH The Fiscal Impact of Tax-Credit Scholarships in Oklahoma June 2011 Brian Gottlob About the Foundation for Educational Choice The Foundation for Educational Choice is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, solely dedicated to advancing Milton and Rose Friedman’s vision of school choice for all children. First established as the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation in 1996, the foundation continues to promote school choice as the most effective and equitable way to improve the quality of K-12 education in America. The foundation is dedicated to research, education, and outreach on the vital issues and implications related to choice in K-12 education. Commitment to Methods & Transparency The Foundation for Educational Choice is committed to research that adheres to high scientific standards, and matters of methodology and transparency are taken seriously at all levels of our organization. We are dedicated to providing high-quality information in a transparent and efficient manner. All individuals have opinions, and many organizations (like our own) have specific missions or philosophical orientations. Scientific methods, if used correctly and followed closely in well-designed studies, should neutralize these opinions and orientations. Research rules and methods minimize bias. We believe rigorous procedural rules of science prevent a researcher’s motives, and an organization’s particular orientation, from pre-determining results. If research adheres to proper scientific and methodological standards, its findings can be relied upon no matter who has conducted it. If rules and methods are neither specified nor followed, then the biases of the researcher or an organization may become relevant, because a lack of rigor opens the door for those biases to affect the results.

  • The Economics of Water and Land Resource Use by Oluwagbemiga
    The Economics of Water and Land Resource Use by Oluwagbemiga Abiodun Ojumu A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 18, 2009 Keywords: Recreational fishing, Negative binomial, Economic impact, Recreation demand, Bio-economic, Optimization model Copyright 2009 by Oluwagbemiga Abiodun Ojumu Approved by Diane Hite, Co-Chair, Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics Deacue Fields, Co-Chair, Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics Asheber Abebe, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics Valentina Hartarska, Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics Abstract Natural resource economics deals with the supply, demand, and the management of the earth’s natural resources. It brings together different broad areas in human economics, earth science, and natural ecosystems to create better understanding of the natural resources in order o develop sustainable ways of managing them to ensure their availability to future generations. Natural resources provide services that respond to market forces, but the right mix of these resources have to be employed in order to optimize the value that they provide. This dissertation focuses on the economics of water and land resources, using economic and biophysical models to show how these resources can be better used to optimize the services that they provide. To do this, this dissertation uses three essays. The first essay uses survey responses from randomly selected anglers in the 2006/2007 recreational fishing season in Alabama in a travel cost model to estimate their consumer surpluses and total willingness to pay for this type of recreation. With some contingent valuation questions in the survey, used with the travel cost model, the study shows that anglers’ willingness to pay for recreational visits will increase if the quality of the recreational fishing sites are improved.

  • Component #1: Data Analysis Stakeholder Involvement the Special Education Services (SES) Section of the Alabama State Department
    Component #1: Data Analysis Stakeholder Involvement The Special Education Services (SES) Section of the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) elicited broad stakeholder input to develop the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP). With the assistance of stakeholders who represented parents, advocacy organizations, public and private school personnel, institutions of higher education (IHEs), multiple offices within the ALSDE, and other state agency staff, the SES Section has collected and analyzed performance data for students with individualized education programs (IEPs) in order to identify a state- identified measurable result (SIMR) pursuant to the new Indicator 17 requirement from the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The data analyzed include information from the State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) indicators as well as compliance monitoring data, 618 data collections, and other state-reported data (e.g., EDFacts submitted data) over the past several years. The ALSDE staff with broad stakeholder input examined data from the SPP/APR indicators and 618 data collections in order to determine longitudinal trends and patterns. While Alabama has met and exceeded most of its SPP/APR targets for the past several years, particularly within compliance indicators, the ALSDE acknowledges that the need for improvement in results areas is clearly indicated. In data drill-down activities, the ALSDE staff and stakeholders determined key areas to consider: improving graduation rates, narrowing the achievement

I would like to highlight a few though, with whose help the dissertation would not have been possible. To my dissertation advisor, Dr. Ken Stern, I owe a debt of gratitude. He helped me through, what seemed like, endless drafts, always being positive and encouraging. I enjoyed the conversations he and I had at Mojo’s over the past years. Dr. Stern and Dr. Ed Harris have guided me through many of my classes, and their input has been invaluable. Dr. Krum’s editing skills have made me a better writer and a clearer thinker. I have listened to her advice and have become a better researcher because of it. Dr. Williams was the first person that I met when I came to Oklahoma State University and I am grateful she accepted my invitation to serve on my committee and offered her advice.

    Circuits of Power in Alabama's Immigration Politics: Labor Justice and Corporate Social Responsibility Elizabeth C. S. Jamison Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Alliance for Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought Barbara Ellen Smith, Chair Patricia M. Nickel Max O. Stephenson, Jr. Richard E. Wokutch October 28, 2015 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Power, Immigration Policy, Corporate Social Responsibility, Critical Theory, Race, Labor Justice, State Politics Copyright E. C. S. Jamison (2015) Circuits of Power in Alabama's Immigration Politics: Labor Justice and Corporate Social Responsibility Elizabeth C. S. Jamison ABSTRACT At the time of its debate and passage in 2010-2011, Alabama’s immigration law evoked support and opposition from across the state and nation. Despite the outcry, the Alabama business community projected a pronounced public “silence.” This silence was particularly curious because of the law’s clear and intended goal of self-deportation of Latinos who are a significant labor source for Alabama agri-businesses and food processing industries. The key question for this dissertation is: Why did the poultry processing industry, which has high populations of Latino employees and a significant industrial presence in Alabama, stay publicly silent despite a predictable impact on their labor supply? This qualitative analysis used the lens of the circuits of power model to interrogate this question. The findings indicate that Alabama poultry processors found themselves susceptible to the same opportunities and challenges as any other social actor confronted with the racialized, politicized, and historically contingent challenges facing Latino labor in Alabama.

Separate economic impacts are analyzed for the Black Belt and the State; and direct, indirect, and induced economic impacts were estimated for government revenues, income, and employment. Possible increases in these impacts were also estimated for hypothetically improved recreational fishing sites, using the ‘ideal’ hypothetical site characteristics. The results showed a direct total value added impact of $102.5m; indirect impact of $24.7m, and an induced impact of $8.3m, which all add up to a total impact of $135.5m in total value added to the State.

Jones Fellow Jacqueline Clary, Law Clerk June 7, 2009 Summary Field hearings on the proposed National Broadband Plan will enable the commissioners to hear directly from those most in need of universal, competitive, affordable and accessible broadband service.1 At the hearings, the Commission can develop an exemplary record through the testimony of local witnesses. We are proposing that the Commission conduct fifteen hearings during the summer and fall of 2009. Ideally each of the commissioners would attend each hearing. These hearings would afford the Commission an opportunity to explore the transformative power of broadband to unleash new waves of innovation, to create jobs and economic growth, to improve national competitiveness, and to create new tools for: • Telemedicine, to deliver efficient, affordable, and personalized healthcare to all Americans, wherever they may be; • E-Learning, to provide high-quality education to the underserved; • Telepresence or Telework, to provide reduced energy costs and consumption, and to create new global job opportunities; • E-Government, to create and engage in civic participation and democracy; • E-Commerce, to allow all communities, especially minority business enterprises (“MBEs”), to participate more fully in the global economy; and 1 Announced at FCC Open Meeting, April 8, 2009; see also National Broadband Plan Notice of Inquiry, GN Docket No. 09-51 (April 8, 2009) (“Broadband Plan NOI”).

This brief addresses the following questions: 1. Whether the plaintiffs proved that Alabama’s legislative redistricting plans for the House and Sen- ate unconstitutionally classify black voters by race on a statewide basis, even though they did not show that race was the predominant factor motivating the legislature’s decision to place a significant number of voters within or without a particular district. 2.
