I would also add imprisonment for those awaiting trial and did not pay or were denied bail. They should be given provisional ballots and only be counted if they would have effect and if found not guilty of the felony.

If I understand this correctly, you're saying that someone who has been accused and imprisoned but not yet convicted should be able to cast a provisional ballot, which will be counted if they are found not guilty, but discarded if they are found guilty?

I don't think that's viable. I don't know how long it is typical for people to await trial, but isn't it on the order of weeks to months? We cannot have an election held up by the criminal justice system.

I'd say, if the alleged criminal has not yet been found guilty (of their felony murder/sexual offense) then they should be able to vote as normal. That does mean some murderers will get to cast a ballot because they weren't caught until two days before Election Day and the judge's got other cases on the docket; so be it.
