Group, Is an ex felon allowed to hold public office? As I recall for an expunged record one must wait 10 years but does an actual felon have such an opportunity? Larry Vickers, Jr. Attorney At Law, P.L.L.C. www.lvickerslaw.com 303 South Thornton P.O. Box 1302 Vian, Oklahoma 74962 Vian Phone: 918-773-4004 Muskogee Phone: 918-682-5900

Larry, I'm not sure that it matters whether the person has obtained an expungement. As to elected offices, 8-101 merely requires that the person be a resident and registered voter of the Municipality. 26 O.S. 4-101(1) provides that a convicted felon is eligible to register to vote once they have fully served their sentence. So if a convicted felon has fully served their sentence and, thereafter, became a resident and registered voter in a Municipality then it would appear that they would be eligible to hold an elective public office within the Municipality. As for appointed public offices, I am not aware of any statute that would prohibit a felon from holding an appointive office in general. Obviously there are certain offices where there are Federal and/or State statutory provisions that would effectively prevent a convicted felon from being appointed - e.g. a Police Officer due to 70 O.S. 3311(E)(1)(a), (b) and/or (e) as well 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1). There's also 11 O.S. 8-105 which requires that a Municipal Treasurer and any other officers or employees that can sign warrants and checks to obtain a performance bond. While one might think that a convicted felon would be unable to become bonded, my general understanding is that this is not the case because many cities obtain blanket bonds and/or bonds that are for the position rather than the person, and that the bonds often do not contain provisions that would exclude a given person from coverage under the bond just because they had a felony conviction. This is just a general understanding as I've not actually reviewed the bond documents (but I have had occasion to ask the question because, you guessed it, we've had cities reach out asking this question - usually because they've already hired someone with a former felony conviction into a position that has to be covered by a bond). Hope that helps. Matt On Mon, May 29, 2023 at 12:32 PM Larry Vickers <larry@lvickerslaw.com> wrote: > Group, > > Is an ex felon allowed to hold public office?

Great catch! By its express terms, it would prohibit a person from holding an elected position at a Municipality for 15 years after completion of their sentence. So they'd be eligible to vote after they completed their sentence, but not eligible to be elected Municipal official for another 15 years. And because OSCN links to cases or AG opinions that have cited a given statute, this statute was referenced in 1986 OK AG 79 which appears to contain a good discussion regarding eligibility to hold appointive office at a political subdivision following a felony conviction (essentially saying that, with the exception of certain crimes, there's not a general statutory disqualification from holding appointive public offices).

My opinion - their holding office with a defect in their ability to hold the office. Their actions would all be valid and protected under the *de facto *Officer doctrine. But they clearly would qualify for that doctrine since they aren't a usurper of the Office - they ran, were elected, and then sworn in. The tougher question is what recourse there is at this point. If the issue was that they missed a majority of the meetings over a 4 month period, or that they failed to attend the NOI within the 1st year, then then the statutes would say that they vacate their office. But it's not actually self-effecting - the Council has to declare the vacancy as existing. And the case law makes clear they have to provide due process. But in those instances, the disqualifying condition arose after the person took office. Here, the condition existed prior to them even filing for office. I'm not sure whether a Council has the ability to declare a seat is vacant due to something that occurred prior to the person taking office...especially when there's a statutory process that was already in place where the issue could have been challenged at the time. Not really an answer (well, other than to say that they are still holding the office and, at worst, as a *de facto* rather than *de jure* office holder).
