Many states have long had a way for ex-cons to be re-instated as voters.

I always believe that if you have done your time, you get your rights back, including gun rights, if you are a felon, you need to still be in jail. If you are done, done with parole/probation and paid your fines you had to pay, you should get 100% of your rights back, including voting, including guns, including everything else.

The constitution clearly allows states to do that, yes.
