Do you have a right to complain if you don't vote?

Everyone has a right to complain whether that person votes or does not vote. But, maybe if that person had voted, he or she might have nothing to complain about. In any event, I personally believe that people who don't vote should keep their complaints to themselves. If they don't want to participate in our political process of choosing government representatives, then they should not (although they have a right to) complain when those representatives do not act appropriately.

Can you vote in the election in MN if you have a felony but are off of probation?

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. Here's a good document: http://www.mncn.org/mpp/doc/exfelons.pdf Vote!
