Can Felons vote in Utah?

I came into work late today because I was so tired. Plus, it was raining/snowing outside so I really didn't want to get out of my warm bed. Working for Convergy's is awesome because I don't have to talk to anyone when I call in sick--I just put in my social security number and a nice computerized lady says "press 1 if you're going to be tardy, press 2 if your going to be absent." So I pressed 2 and went to work at noon.

A co-worker asked me how she registers to vote, so I told her about the satellite locations at grocery stores. I asked another co-worker (who I knew wasn't registered) if she was. She came over to my desk and whispered that she was convicted of a federal felony and went to jail. I told her she could vote and showed her where Utah law stated that.

The look on her face was one of elation. Once I showed it to her, she told me how officials told her she couldn't ever vote again and opined on how she thought that was wrong. She was so excited and told me she had friends who she was going to get registered.

I LOVE registering people who thought they couldn't vote to vote. It makes me angry to hear stories of officials (and I've heard plenty) who told people that they lost the right to vote. Every state has a different law concerning this and I'm glad Utah is progressive (haha) in allowing former felons to vote.

By the way, here is the law:

20A-2-101.5. Convicted felons -- Restoration of right to vote.
(1) As used in this section, "convicted felon" means a person convicted of a felony in a Utah state court.
(2) Each convicted felon's right to register to vote and to vote in an election is restored when:
(a) the felon is sentenced to probation by the sentencing judge;
(b) the felon is granted parole by the Board of Pardons; or
(c) the felon has successfully completed the term of incarceration to which the felon was sentenced.
