Skip has it right. In California, a person convicted of a felony cannot vote ONLY while in prison or on parole. Being in jail or on probation does not prevent you from voting.

Try the website below. You can vote once you are off parole. You do not need to be off probation.

actually it depends on which state you live in. Here in New England. You can vote if you are a convicted Felon and you can still vote if you are imprisoned.
Voting is a RIGHT !!! A right can not be taken away , at least not in the Northeast.

If it was not a felony, yes. Felons that serve time can never vote again, although some states are changing their laws.

If one is convicted of a federal crime one forfeits their voting privileges. However a state conviction does not impede the right to vote unless the state prohibits it.

Contact your former P.O. He/she should be able to provide you with documentation that you have completed your sentence, and are eligible to vote.

I know in Virginia, you have to be "off-paper" for at least 5 years to be able to try to get your civil rights reinstated.
