en. Rand Paul (R-KY) re-introduced the Civil Rights Voting Restoration Act of 2015 on Friday, a bipartisan bill co-sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) that would restore federal voting rights for non-violent, “low-level” ex-offenders.
Sen. Paul explained,
“A criminal record is currently one of the biggest impediments to voting in federal elections. The Civil Rights Voting Restoration Act will reform existing federal law and give low-level ex-offenders another opportunity to vote.”
Non-violent, so-called "low-level" crimes include:
Whether a crime is considered a misdemeanor or felony will depend on a variety of aggravating factors, such as the number of offenses, economic impact, and so on.
Dependent upon the type of conviction, voting rights for ex-offenders also vary from state to state.
For instance, in Maine, the right to vote is never taken away, even when imprisoned.

In every state, felons have the option of petitioning the governor for the return of all voting and other rights. Usually, the lawbreaker must show remorse, a post prison contibution to their hometowns or other good works.
They are not locked out of society...
