this is one thing that should never be taken away from an American, when convicted one will loss just about everything possible including their dignity.

The law makes no distinction between violent and non-violent felons. You will have to file a motion with the court system that convicted you requesting the expungement of your offense and see what the outcome is. SOME states will restore some of your rights, some will not - you will have to do your own research to see where your state stands on this issue. If you were convicted in federal court, forget it! Congress has refused to appropriate funds to restore federally convicted felons 'rights.'

The primary policy-making responsibility for determining whether convicted felons can vote in presidential elections lies with the individual states. Each state has the authority to set its own rules regarding the voting rights of convicted felons, including whether to restore their voting rights after serving their sentence or to maintain permanent disenfranchisement. However, the federal government can pass legislation that sets minimum standards or addresses specific aspects of felon voting rights.
