Since 1997, 800,000 persons have regained the right to vote as a result of felony disenfranchisement reform in 23 states, according to Expanding the Vote: State Felony Disenfranchisement Reform 1997-2010.
From here.
Colorado bars felons from voting only while incarcerated or serving a parole sentence. Incarcerated individuals who are serving a sentence only for a misdemeanor, incarcerated individuals awaiting trial, and someone serving a probation rather than a parole sentence (even if it is for a felony) are not barred from voting in Colorado.
