Answer:
Becoming a convicted felon will have a long lasting impact on a person's life and results in the loss of basic civil rights such as the right to vote, the right to sit on a jury, and the right to own, possess, or use a firearm. Noncitizens, convicted felons who have been released from prison, current prison inmates, election law violators, and mentally incompetent people are not allowed to vote in most states.
