-According to the ACLU of Michigan, you can vote if you have been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony in the state, provided you currently are not incarcerated. The right to vote is instantly restored upon release from prison. Individuals on parole or probation are permitted to vote as well.\\
+Michigan residents confined in jail or prison who are awaiting arraignment or trial are eligible to vote. Residents serving a sentence in jail or prison after conviction cannot vote during the period of confinement. When residents are released from jail or prison after serving a sentence, they are free to vote.\\
