Strongly agree

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation

The SNP's proposal in 2018 to give voting rights to prisoners serving sentences of less than 12 months suggests that they believe in restoring voting rights after a certain point in the criminal justice process. While their proposal does not specifically mention parole or probation, it does indicate a belief in voting rights restoration for some prisoners.

Agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

While the SNP has not explicitly stated their position on voting rights for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes, their proposal to give voting rights to prisoners serving sentences of less than 12 months suggests that they may support voting rights for some prisoners, excluding those with more severe convictions.

Agree

Yes

Slightly agree

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote

The SNP has shown support for extending voting rights to some prisoners, but their proposal in 2018 does not go as far as advocating for voting rights for all citizens, regardless of their criminal convictions. Their position on this issue is more nuanced than this answer suggests.
