Pardons / Executive Clemency

Executive Clemency

If you have been convicted of a felony, you only have one option to have that conviction removed from your record: A Governor's Pardon / Executive Clemency.

The Governor, assisted by the Governors Board for Executive Clemency, is granted the constitutional power to grant a pardon or commutation of sentence following a criminal conviction or juvenile adjudication. This power is called Executive Clemency, sometimes known as a governors pardon. A pardon forgives an individual for the crime. A commutation is a reduction in sentence for currently incarcerated prisoners that can be granted for an entire sentence or any part of it. The Executive Clemency procedure is governed by state rules, so it varies from state to state.
