Some states allow felons to vote during and/or after parole or probation, a few others allow voting while in prison. Most Democracies around the world allow felons to vote in jail, on probation or on parole, so this is an issue that America has to work on. Meanwhile, it would be good to supply the necessary to those who have the right to vote, check with your local official for voting procedures for felons.
