Has he looked into ways to be pardoned? A pardon basically throws the conviction out and I would assume the right to vote would return upon pardon.
EDIT: Hmmmm, now that I think about it that could be a good political strategy. Pardon everyone with the undeclared understanding that they vote for you.
