No, unless they have demonstrated clear evidence that they are reformed and will not reoffend. A second conviction should result in loss of voting rights.

 @9ZCFHZVanswered…3mos3MO

Yes but depends on the circumstances, eg a person convicted of child abuse should not be allowed to vote on children matters

 @9YNJPRN answered…3mos3MO

Yes but I think it should depend on the crime so assess on a case by case basis (for example those who have committed violent crimes definitely should not be allowed to vote anymore), and only after they’ve served their sentence and parole/probation

 @9YMMQ5Canswered…3mos3MO

It is extremely subjective and very much dependant on the criminal and the crime that they were convicted of

 @9PZX4SBanswered…7mos7MO

It depends on the nature of the crime. A criminal accused of child abuse should not be aloud to vote on children's rights etc.

 @9HBHVHDSinn Féinanswered…1yr1Y

Yes but not those convicted of sexual crimes. Those are the people who shouldn't ever be allowed participate in society

 @9H76M6Ganswered…1yr1Y

If it's a robber who stole to feed their family and had no other choice, that sort of thing, then yes, otherwise, if these criminals have no morality and no sense of justice, etc. then probably not

 @96N5R4Banswered…2yrs2Y

Together with Murderers & violent criminals, white collar crime must be added to the list of a revoked right to vote.

 @92X3K5Danswered…3yrs3Y

Depends on the situation and severaty of the crime. No to sex offenders

 @8VJT56QFine Gaelanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes they should have the right to vote after they have served their sentence but except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

 @8RQWZM2answered…4yrs4Y

I think it depends on the crime and if they're in jail. If they are out of jail they should be allowed to vote depending on what they did.

 @8RLNYM8answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, eventually excepting mass murderers or major criminals, to be determined

 @8QZTLBYanswered…4yrs4Y

No, because they have no brain,and if they were in America when the voting was going on in 2020 they would have been dummies and voted red bc they have no brain

 @8PVD7GLanswered…4yrs4Y

 @8GHVZWXanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, so long as the crime was not political. I.e treason or revolutionary.

 @8D2G88Hanswered…4yrs4Y

 @99P372Ganswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, except for felons are convicted of murder or violent crimes or only after completing the sentences and parole/probation

 @98VQW9Vanswered…2yrs2Y

Except for felons on violent crimes, sexual abuse and those who haven't completed their sentences

How do you think excluding people from voting after a felony impacts poor or minority communities in particular?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you agree or disagree with the idea that someone who has paid their debt to society deserves a second chance, including the right to vote?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would it make you feel to lose your right to vote because of a past mistake, even after you’ve served your punishment?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How important is voting when it comes to feeling truly reintegrated into society after a conviction?

 @8PGZTFZanswered…4yrs4Y

yes, but they're made to pass a test to show basic understanding of politics

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you think it's more beneficial for society to include or exclude people with felony convictions in the voting process?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

What does it say about a democracy if certain groups, like former felons, are permanently excluded from participating in elections?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If someone has served their time, do you believe they should regain their full rights as a citizen, including voting?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If voting is a fundamental right, should any crime be significant enough to remove that right permanently?
