Nebraska’s high court says people with felony records can register to vote in a decision with implications for the upcoming election.

People in Nebraska who were convicted of felonies and have finished their sentences can register to vote in the November election, the court ruled Wednesday.

Nebraska's top state court on Wednesday upheld a state law allowing felons who have completed their sentences to vote, enabling thousands more people to cast ballots in the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.
