A person convicted of a felony who is placed on probation, granted parole or pardoned is immediately restored to the right to vote.

A paper that says so. On release from prison, the person is given an official document stating the release, the restoration of the right to serve on a civil jury, and the dates on which the rights to hold office and to serve on a criminal jury return. If that document is lost, damaged or destroyed, a court can issue an order restoring the rights, and no fee may be charged for it.
