The top 5 groups promoting voting rights for felons are different in each state. Like voting rights retained while in jail for a felony, voting rights upon release, voting rights once released from prison, voting rights completion of sentence and voting rights depending on the type of conviction.
All persons convicted of felonies are excluded from voting in the US. (Unless they have their rights restored.)

Yes, you can register. Each state has felon voting laws that may restrict people convicted of and/or incarcerated for a felony from registering or voting. For more information, see Related Links.
In the state of Illinois people who are incarcerated for a felony can't vote. They will have the ability to vote once they have served their sentence.
In Louisiana, individuals convicted of a felony can regain their voting rights after completing their sentence, including prison, parole, and probation.

In many states, a felony conviction for anything removes your voting rights. A conviction on most felony offenses will cause you to have your voting rights removed or curtailed. I believe that there are at least 2 states that allow felons in prison to vote but the remainder do not.

In California, some criminal convictions have no impact on your voting rights at all. Other kinds of convictions may temporarily take away your right to vote. The only time you are not eligible to vote is if you have a felony conviction and you are still in state prison or on parole. If you have a felony conviction, you CAN vote if: * you are on probation, or * you have completed your probation, or * you have completed your parole.For all the answers on California Felon Voting Rights, the California Felon Party Website has all the laws, regulations and answers as to who in California that is a felon needs toknow about felon's voting rights.Go to: www.californiafelonparty.org
