Help me parse this sentence please, the part in between my added ***

Posted by ty97 Aug 24 '13, 19:53

"Registered voters who cannot make it to the polls on Election Day because of occupation, business, studies, travel, ****imprisonment (other than a convicted felon)****, illness, disability and hospitalization or resident in a long term care facility, may vote by absentee ballot."

What other type of imprisonment are they referring to?

A lot of people spend up to 11 months, 29 days imprisoned in a local jail for misdemeanors. -- nm - Trish Aug 24, 20:03
I believe it means that you can vote from prison unless you're in for a felony. - howie Aug 24, 19:58 1
