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.
All persons convicted of felonies are excluded from voting in the US. (Unless they have their rights restored.)
If convicted of a felony offense, you will lose your right to vote, among other things. Once your sentence has been served, in some states, you may petition to have that right resotored.

This is currently a question that is being looked at in many states, but generally speaking convicted felons are precluded from voting. Best thing to do would be to call your local Supervisor of Elections and ask.
Well for starters many convicted felons can't vote.
In the United States the rules for voting are basically the same for voting. A person has to be 18, a citizen of the United States, and registered to vote. Today some states are changing state laws to limit voting times, require certain forms of identification, and changing voters districts. People who have been convicted of a felony also can't vote. California does allow former felons to vote except for those in prison or on parole.

When a person is convicted in criminal cases, looses his voting right.
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.
I am not sure what you are asking. Voting rights are given in the constitution and the states have made laws to restrict some voting rights, but the federal government is suppose to protect voting rights.
