When is a convicted felon eligible to vote again?

Answer 1

In most states immediately upon automatic restoration of civil rights at the end of sentence and parole. In a very few states like Florida it takes a special administrative act which may be very difficult to get.

Here's a breakdown by state: http://www.hrw.org/reports98/vote/usvot98o.htm

Three states (NY, RI, ID) have civil death laws for those with life sentences. Two states (HI, NH) have enacted the Uniform Act on the Status of Convicted Persons.

Answer 2

Once a person has served their sentence in completion they should be allowed to fully reintegrate into society. BA: Bad idea. It would firstly establish the slippery slope necessary to get rid of these programs entirely, which conservatives have been trying to do since their inception, but nor would it serve a useful purpose. It may make a subset of individuals without much to do with their lives feel good that they’re punishing someone but would allow make targets of said punishment more likely to commit crime, return to prison and create an even larger burden to the taxpayer.

Answer 3

After they go to court and have their rights restored by a judge!1

Answer 4

3-5 years after they are released.(paroll,probation,prison) what ever their sentence was.They have to reapply for their rights.

Answer 7
