Ex-convicts can vote in Oklahoma unless they are still on probation or parole.
Oklahoma allows registered voters to vote early, between 8 AM and 6 PM the Thursday and Friday prior to an election. For state and federal elections you can also vote between 9 AM and 2 PM the Saturday before. This is in addition to the regular poll times of 7 AM to 7 PM, and the ability to get an absentee ballot based on being unable to vote at the available times. So in Oklahoma at least, "I work too much" is not a valid excuse to not vote, although it may be so in states without early voting and without absentee provisions.
And "a feeling of disenfranchisement" is a pretty ignorant reason on its face.
