Pennsylvania recently launched an online application for pardons, becoming one the first states to digitize the process. Every year, thousands of people apply, seeking approval from a five-member Board of Pardons, and the governor, to wipe their records of any criminal history that can block access to housing and jobs. Initially people had to fill out an application and mail it in, and a pardon candidate could wait for years for their application to reach a final decision. The online application is an attempt to give more people the chance to earn a pardon. You can apply for a pardon at the Board of Pardons website.
