To request an expungement: You must have served the complete term of your sentence - then submit a petition to the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being viewed by the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your complete 'actual' record. If you were convicted of a felony crime, (unless you are a resident of a state which completely restores your "rights"), tor legal purposes, your status will still remain that of a 'convicted felon' and you remain subject to any restrictions that status places upon you (voting rights - privilege of holding elective office - gun possession - etc).
