“I’m a convicted felon but want to vote in the Presidential election. Will you help me?”

Could you answer that question in Oregon?

What color is your state in the link below?

1. "Probationers and parolees may vote," apparently.

I didn't know that. Not sure what that means, exactly, but it sounds fine to me. I'm ignorant on felons' right to vote, and I assumed there was a widespread, outright ban on it. It's good to see that's far from the case.
