“On page 15 of the 2018 Voter Guide (English), a response to whether a convicted felon can vote reads, ‘If you have been convicted of a felony, you can register and vote after you complete your sentence and/or parole.’ However, on April 18, 2018, Gov. Cuomo signed an executive order to restore voting rights to certain individuals on parole. The measure is meant to level the disproportionate impact the voting restriction has on African-American and Hispanic voters. Fourteen other states practice a similar policy on formerly incarcerated people.“
