“As of Aug. 5, 2021, 21 states allowed people with felony convictions who were on parole or probation to vote.
“For the most part, voting rights are left to the states as a separation of federal and state power. Congress has the ability to enact some laws, such as the Voting Rights Act, that govern the ways in which states administer elections.”
