It depends on the state, Maine and Vermont allow felons to vote from prison via absentee ballot. Other states give back the right once parole is finished. Other states require an application of civil rights restoration to regain the right to vote.

A convicted Felon can not vote while in prison. They can vote after they have served their time but they must have their civil rights restored. This is the case in the state of Florida anyways, this might vary per state.

Only 1 state still allow's felons to vote while in prison. I believe it is vermont. the other 49 states will not allow felons to vote while in prison.
Not sure how many states ban felons from voting after they are out of prison. But is less than a third of the states. Most all other states allow felons out of prison to vote.
Personally I think all felons should be allowed to vote. Whether they are in prison or out. What's the big deal.

a million. you'd be a marketing campaign worker and impact extra votes than in simple terms the only which you're literally not allowed. 2. you are able to whine and *****. 3. you'll get the state structure replaced via a large number of hard work and attempt. Get a collection called "Felons for balloting" and be conscious how that is going over. 4. you are able to analyze all 50 states and be conscious if ANY ought to assist you vote and then flow there. 5. attempt to get your expenses reduces because you've "shown" your self to in effortless words your self. per chance you're literally not the suitable decide, being a felon and all. 6. If this usa is so unfair, flow to a extra ideal one.

The only way a felon can vote again is if he were to be pardoned by the governor of his state or the president pardons him.
