According to research that I found, there is estimated nineteen million people that have a felony conviction, this is those that are formerly incarcerated and currently incarcerated. The estimated number for those with a criminal record is seventy-nine million people. Voting rights are state by state but the estimates of Disenfranchised Americans is 4.6 million in 2022, in 2020 the number was 5.2 million, so it is lower two years later. There seem to be some confusing in North Carolina when it comes to the question ‘if someone with a felony on their record can vote?” Seems like that would be a simple yes or no, right? Well, here is the answer to the question, effective July 26th, 2022, once convicted of a felony you do lose all rights to vote until you have completed your sentence. This also includes any probation, post-release supervision, or parole associated with the felony sentence. After all that is over you will automatically regain your right to vote. But you must register to vote even if you were previously registered.
