In Louisiana, individuals convicted of a felony can regain their voting rights after completing their sentence, including prison, parole, and probation. However, those convicted of certain disqualifying offenses, such as election-related felonies, may face additional restrictions. It’s important for individuals to verify their eligibility and understand the process for restoring their voting rights.


In the US what disqualifies you from voting legally?

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. Some states have provisions in their law to allow a convicted felon (once they have served their time) to have their record altered (expunged) and they can once again regain their rights, but not all. you will have to research your own states law on this matter.
