"Current state law allows for first-time offenders who have completed their
sentences to regain their voting rights. However, after a second felony
conviction, an ex-offender cannot ever vote again unless the governor grants
a pardon, a process that takes anywhere from 17 to 27 years from the last
day of serving a sentence. Effectively, twice-convicted felons permanently
lose the right to vote in this state.
"If you have met all conditions of the sentence, you shouldn't wear a
scarlet letter for life," says State Senator Delores Kelly, author of Senate
Bill 184, which was introduced in mid-January to amend the existing statute.
"What we want is for [former offenders] to be vested in the community, to
take ownership of public issues, to pay their taxes, to work, to care about
making the world better. To tell them all they cannot vote is not the best
way to do it."

According to a report issued last year by a Maryland General Assembly task
force, about 135,700 people--both incarcerated and released--are denied the
right to vote. This figure represents 3.6%% of the adult population in
Maryland." (http://baltimore.indymedia.org/newswire/display/564/index.php)

So commit two crimes and then lose the right to vote?

So for example someone convicted for say HANDGUN ON PERSON: CARRY/WEAR and
DEADLY WEAPON-CONCEAL would no longer be able to vote?
