Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

Yes, but only after they've been assessed mentally to show their capable of Making a stable and informed decision

Yes, except for those in prison at the time of voting. Those on parole/probation should be allowed to vote as they are participating in society.

Depending on the crime. People who are in a difficult situation and might shoplift should be given the opportunity to vote for a country which is more supportive for them

Take into account the convicted person's background (i.e. their childhood, any traumas they may have experienced, their motivation to commit the crime(s), etc.). If the person is able to make reasonable judgements (i.e. they are 'sane') and logically substantiate them, then perhaps consider giving them the vote. Else if the person in their state of mind is unable to make reasonably judgements, then they should abstain.

I think this should be reviewed on a case by case basis. Murderers and sex offenders for example should haveall rights removed, whereas someone convicted of a lesser crime should have their case to vote heard

Depends the reason for the conviction, theft committed for stealing food for your child? Baby food? these people should be afforded the right to vote- based on the social context on the crime.

Yes, but only if it is clear that they have served their sentence and shown that they have tried to become a better citizen.

Yes but only if not convicted of unjustified violent extreme crimes. Also in stable psychological state with understanding of political consequences etc

Yes, but only after they reattain good standing in their communities and after a certain number of years as per the crime. Violent criminals should not be allowed to earn back their voting rights except through military service.

They should be allowed only after completing their sentences and proving that they can be trusted after a year or so.

Yes, but they should be barred from being able to vote for 5 years after their sentence has been served

it depends on their conviction- pedophelia cases, violence (sexual assault) murder etc should not be allowed

Yes, except for people accused of tax evasion, fraud or murder or violent crimes, rape or crimes against children

felons convicted with worser crimes (murder, rape, etc.) shouldn't be able to vote as well as felons who haven't completed their sentences yet

Yes, but as long as it is not an extreme offence, and it has been 10 years since the crime was committed.

If the UK prison system worked then yes they should have the right AFTER their sentence and their rehabilitation. However, murderers, rapists and paedophiles should NOT.

Peadophiles, murderers and terrorists should have a life time ban but other criminals should be allowed when they finish their sentence

Yes, but only if it has been confirmed that they have been successfully reintegrated back into society upon completion of their punishments.

depends om the extremity of the crime and whether the person has been successfully rehabilitated

Depends on the scale of the crime

Only those from this country

Mentally ill criminals should not.

This depends on their mental state through why they went to prison so in most cases I would argue yes or in the middle

Dependent on the condition on the convict after they serve their time

yes and no depending on specific crimes committed

they should only be able to vote for the party in control

means evaluated on a case by case basis

Not for those with life in prison

Yes but depends on the degree of crime.

Yes, but only if they are due to leave prison in that government term time

Those presently in prison should not be able to vote.

Yes but only for felons convicted of minor crimes

Yes, unless the crime is related to politics, murder, assault both sexual and physical, and any crimes against children

Yes just because they are criminals doesn’t mean they aren’t human and disallowed from a vote that could help the country

It depends on the crime, for example, thiefs can, however, not rapists, murderers etc.

If they have done petty crimes or crimes at a young age they should be able to vote however if they have harmed someone or something then they should not be able to vote

It depends on the scale of the crime committed, if it's a minor theft, then yes. If it is a serious crime like murder, then no.

Yes, unless they’ve committed murder, rape, or hate crimes

After their sentence or after a certain amount of time.

Except felons convicted of murder, rape, paedophilia, child abuse, domestic abuse, or hate crime offences.

Only if they are of sound mind.

Yes, except for whole life term prisoners

Yes but depending on what their crime was

Yes but only for less serious offences

Yes except the worst of the worst (rapist’s, Pedo’s and mass murders etc.)

Voting is not always the right answer as it causes the struggle for power to become a popularity contest. Giving convicted criminals the right to vote could have a negative effect on the fairness of democracy.

One should only be allowed to vote if the criminal can reach a minimum amounts of criminal record and incomplete records also count out a chance of voting

Murderers should never vote. Others must first finish their punishments and then be checked.

They should go through a special process in order to rethink their previous ways and have a new state of mind.
