Richard Winger of Ballot Access News has a post about California's felonies in Community Supervision allowed to register to vote.
After the new community supervision program was launched, the California Secretary of State ruled that community supervision is the functional equivalent of parole, and said persons in community supervision can’t register.
On May 7, 2014, the Alameda County Superior Court ruled that community supervision is not the same as parole, and struck down the ban on registering to vote for people on community supervision.
On August 4, 2015, the state changed its mind and dropped its appeal.
The California voter registration forms must now all be reprinted.
