Glossary of Terms
Pardon – This is an order of official forgiveness and is granted to those individuals who have maintained a good reputation in
their community following the completion of their sentence(s). A Pardon is an official statement attached to the criminal record
that states that the State of Georgia has pardoned the crime. It does not expunge, remove or erase the crime from your record. It
may serve as a means for a petitioner to advance in employment or education.
Restoration of Civil and Political Rights – This is an order restoring a person’s civil rights which are lost in Georgia upon
conviction. These include the right to run for and hold public office, to serve on a jury, and to serve as a Notary Public. The
right to vote is automatically restored upon completion of your sentence(s) therefore you need not submit an application.
Revision Date – June 2013
