Can Wisconsin residents with criminal convictions vote in the upcoming election?

The short answer is no. But people with felony convictions can regain their right to vote after they've finished their sentence and are "off paper," according to the ACLU of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin law requires that people who are convicted are told this at sentencing.

A person is "off paper" once they've completed their sentence, including jail or prison, probation, parole or extended supervision, for a felony, and their parole or probation officer has cleared them from any legal obligations.

Once convicted felons completed their sentence, their voting rights will be automatically restored. In Wisconsin, the Department of Corrections will inform former prisoners in writing.
