can't they get round it during sentencing from now on if the judge says something like:
"...and as a consequence of your crimes you have also forfeited all normal privileges reserved for decent society including but not limited to the right to vote..."
It wouldn't work for current criminals but we'd have to stomach it due to the oversight of our current sentencing guidelines.
or they could just put their polling station outside the prison grounds or "lose" the ballot box in a fire
