Georgia statute only denies the right to vote to those convicted of felonies that are crimes of moral turpitude, and even then only while the felon is in prison. For those convicted of a misdemeanor offense and are in jail or are awaiting trial on charges, they still have the right to vote. Of course, they'd need to be able to do so by absentee ballot or otherwise by mail since the jail is not about to take him to the polling place to vote.
