what is the law regarding convicted felons and voting?
It makes some sense that they cannot vote if they are incarcerated, but what about when they are released, or paroled. Surely this is not a lifetime loss of such a basic american right!!

My understanding is that it can vary by state. In California, if a person is convicted of a felony, they can never vote again - unless the conviction is overturned by a higher court.
Doesn't matter, state by state, convicted felons CANNOT vote, like the writer before me said. Period.
once you are a convicted felon. you lose your right to vote .my husband lost his for life. his felony fell under driving prvilges
A convicted felon cannot vote. Period.
