Entitled by whom or what? There is no such thing as a constitutional right to second chances. Losing the right to vote is part of the punishment.
Does the constitution prevent rehabilitated convicts from having the right to vote?

Nope. As a result, states and the federal government are free to do what they want in this arena. But that’s totally irrelevant to the comment or my response.
The poster I replied to used the word “entitled”, as in a constitutional entitlement to voting after serving a felony sentence. No such entitlement exists. The similar lack of a corresponding prohibition does not change that.
