The text is a response to a letter from Earlene McBride, who is questioning why her son, who is a felon, is not allowed to vote. The response explains that according to Oklahoma State law, felons names are removed from the voter registration list upon conviction, but they are eligible to register again once their sentence, including parole, is completed. The response also mentions that if the felon is convicted in a federal court, their eligibility to vote is not affected. The letter concludes by offering further assistance if needed.
