In Minnesota, civil rights are restored when you complete your sentence. Presumably, this includes the prison portion and parole. If you never went to prison, but were on probation and completed that probationary term, you should be allowed to vote. HEre's the statute 2008 Minnesota Statutes 609.165 RESTORATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS; POSSESSION OF FIREARMS. Subdivision 1.Restoration. When a person has been deprived of civil rights by reason of conviction of a crime and is thereafter discharged, such discharge shall restore the person to all civil rights and to full citizenship, with full right to vote and hold office, the same as if such conviction had not taken place, and the order of discharge shall so provide. discharge is defined here: Subd. 2.Discharge. The discharge may be: (1) by order of the court following stay of sentence or stay of execution of sentence; or (2) upon expiration of sentence. So, I would read this to mean that when you are totally off paper, your rights are restored, but that your rights can be restored even while on probation, if so ordered by the court.

No. As a convicted felon, you have invariably lost your second amendment rights. However, all felons in the US have the right to vote at least when they are free from probation or parole. At that point, more than 50 million people is a large lobby group. Consider starting something.
