yes if you get your rights restored and its been 10 years or more sense the last time you've been arrested. It cant be a violent felony, it can only be in the 3rd degree and you cant be a career criminal or a repeated offender. those can rule you out

A question with several possible answers. (1) if you were convicted federal felon - no. (2) If you were a convicted state felon. - possibly. Some (not all) states will return some of your privileges to you if you petition the court to have them returned (expunction). However, it is not automatic that it will be granted and it is only in some states. If you live in one of those states - and your petition ios granted - you MAY have your privilege of holding public office restored.
