Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

If they are incarcerated no. If they have been released their conviction is spent and therefore should be allowed to vote providing they are not on bail.

This should be for judges to decide on a case by case basis. Judges should decide whether or not forfeiture of the right to vote is an appropriate part of the punishment element of a sentence.

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

If they are due to be released within the next government term, otherwise not. Foreign-born criminals should lose their right to vote.

Yes, unless in their trial they were proven to have a mental disorder which influenced them to commit the crime

Yes, if they will be freed before the next election so they have a say in the society they return to.

Minor convictions should not lead to someone losing the right to vote. But if the conviction is something serious, then they perhaps should lose the right

Yes, but only after they've been assessed mentally to show they’re capable of Making a stable and informed decision. However, if serving time no

Yes but where they are in a rehabilitation programme. I don't believe taking freedom and all basic rights from a human. This makes the situation worse and the person feeling hopeless. We need a reform of the way we manage criminals.

It varies on the charges but if they arent severe then yes because its the world they are living in but murderers and rapists deserve to die

Only if they have had a psych evaluation and have sane judgement

Yes but their votes count less

If they’re sentence is less than a year

Depends upon the crime committed.

Yes, if they have been assessed

no but only for the duration of their sentence

yes, but not if the crime they committed was extremely violent and politically driven

Yes apart if they are a nonce

only if they have changed

Depending on the severity of the crime then I think that it could be decided that they have the right to vote as some criminals might turn their ways around.

Yes, but only those whose crimes were minor (under 5 years jail time) and they should not be allowed to vote on legislation which concerns their conviction

Yes, except those with crimes against society.

Only if they will be allowed out of prison in their future lives.

Only when they are out

Yes, except for those convicted of financial crimes

Depends on the severity of their crime and their behaviour inside prison.

Yes, if they are non-violent offenders and go through the polital voting capability from question 1

Depends on the length of sentence and their crime.

Yes, if they are due to be released in the course of the parliament being elected

yes but only if they would be out in public whilst that person was still in power

Yes, except for people who have committed heinous acts

I believe in Socrates idea of how democracy should be put in place

depending on the crimes severity

Yes but if they pass a mental capability test

Yes, if they pax tax

i support a noocratic system

only if they will be coming out during that term

Yes, but only if they are going to be released in that government's term

Yes, but not while they are serving their time.

No, most citizens should not have the right to vote [generally]

Yes, and give them access to political information, such as debates.

Yes if they only committed petty crime

I support the use use of a modernised voter literacy test to determine individual voter's understanding of the issues and party positions they are voting for.

if it was a extremely violent hate crime towards a certain political or religious groups then no i do not believe they should be able to vote.

only after completing there sentences

if the felon has committed a hate crime or murder then i do not believe they have the right to vote, however if it is something simple, or something would not sway their vote, then of cource they should have the right just like any other citizen

Criminals haven’t done much for deserving but are still human

Yes, but only if they are in a sound mental state

No, but only banned for a certain period of time.

Depends on how bad the crime was for the person.

It depends what the crime is, and if they've finished their sentence/parole

Yes, except for criminals convicted of terrorism or being involved with terrorist organisations.

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation however, if they re offend they get the right taken from them completely.

Criminals, except for those convicted of murder, violent or sexual crimes, should be allowed to vote if they have the possibility of being released

If they are of reasonable mental stability.

yes, but only if they have been proven sane

Yes but only if their offence isn't too serious (such as GBH). However, cases such as: murder, sexual assault, kidnapping and extreme violence should not be allowed.

Yes, however, it should be dependent upon the crime committed and they should be able to while serving a sentence, be it in prison, house arrest or probation

Depends what the were imprisoned for

Yes, unless it was a horrific crime

they should do a test to see how mentally stable they are

After their sentence or after a certain amount of time.

Only if they are found not to be a danger and are in a good state of mind.

I have mixed opinions

Do not even slightly care

If they've been out of parole for 30 years
