A Daily Camera article from 9/5
http://www.dailycamera.com/bdc/election/article/0,1713,BDC_16316_3162622,00.html

says:

Nationwide, 48 states bar felons in prison from voting, and 33
states extend that ban to include felons on probation or parole as
well. Thirteen states bar felons from voting even after their
sentence, parole and probation have been served, and some of those
states extend the ban for life.
