      No state’s permanently bar all felons from voting anymore. The key difference now is when they’re allowed to vote again.

      For some, prisoners can vote, for some it’s after you get out of jail, and for some, it’s when your parole is up.

      There are still certain crimes that do require the governor to grant permission, though.
