Clarifies that individuals have the ability to vote by absentee ballot if they are not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction

This bill amends New York's absentee voter affidavit to replace the specific condition that a person's maximum prison sentence must have expired with a broader standard: individuals are eligible to vote by absentee ballot if they are not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction. This change clarifies that the right to vote is not permanently lost based on past felony convictions once the person is no longer in prison, regardless of whether their sentence has technically 'expired' or if they are on parole or probation.
