(a) The defendant's right to vote has been lost due to the felony conviction and sentence to a term of total confinement;
(b) If the defendant is registered to vote, the voter registration will be canceled;
(c) The right to vote is automatically restored as long as the defendant is not serving a sentence of total confinement under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections;
(d) The defendant must reregister before voting; and
(e) Voting before the right is restored is a class C felony under RCW 29A.84.660.
