No, a convicted felon loses his rights to vote, hold office, own a fire arm and consort with other convicted felons.
As of July 2014, a convicted felon can not vote in the state of Massachusetts. There are 13 other states that don't allow convicted felons to date.
yes it doesnt say anything in the constition about it, the constition only says you have to be 35 a us citizen and have lived in the us for 14 years. the real question is would you want a convicted felon to run for president? how would you feel? if you feel like i have missed something or left it out let me know at britbrat9235@yahoo.com thanks Brittney hutchison

A felon can vote when he/she is done serving his sentence and probation.
In the US, yes, unless you are a convicted felon you retain the right to vote.
Yes. Many felons in Massachusetts think they've permanently lost the right to vote and much of that misconception was created in the year 2000, when a successful ballot question removed the right to vote for convicted felons while they were serving their time. But as soon as a person is released, his or her right to vote is restored.
Not automatically. In many states a convicted felon loses their right to vote, however in others, they may petition to have that tright resoted to them. You will have to check the statutes of your own state.
Oregon law allows a convicted felon to vote if they are on probation on election day, however if they are in prision on election day, they are not allowed to vote.
My school has been debating on should felons be allowed to vote. We have entered the topic of can felons be a normal citizen when they are released from jail. Apparently the answer to the question is no a convicted felon cannot work as a firefighter in any state after they have been released.
People in Wisconsin with felony convictions are barred from voting if they are incarcerated, on parole or on probation. Once they are released from supervision, they are allowed to vote again.
People that are convicted of serious crimes (felonies) lose the right to vote.
