What about voting with a criminal record?

With the recent passage of Minnesota’s Restore the Vote legislation, all Minnesota citizens who are not incarcerated for a felony sentence are eligible to vote. That means if you are on a probation or parole, you can now vote in all local, state, and federal elections as of June 1, 2023, including for President this year in 2024.
