I view loss of voting rights as part of the punishment.
Regaining your voting rights as a felon varies from state to state. In some state, it is a routine process that occurs as you leave the judicial system. In others, nothing short of a pardon from the governor will do.
I'm of the mind that conviction of a felony is a very clear demonstration of bad judgement. Petitioning the government to reinstate voting rights after a period of time would seem reasonable.
