That is not what is known as a wobbler which can be reduced to a misdemeanor. There would have to be a motion filed to reduce the case to something that wobbles to a misdemeanor and then a 17b reduction. You do not have a right to the reduction. I believe that the only problem would be gun ownership as a felon. You should be able to vote.
