Felony disenfranchisement is the exclusion from voting of people otherwise eligible to vote due to conviction of a criminal offense, usually restricted to the more serious class of crimes deemed felonies. Prisoners cannot vote while in jail in India but can vote when they are released (even if they are convicted of a felony.)

@986DM532yrs2Y
Not if they are serving time
@9L2V3TL3mos3MO
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.

Depends on their crime. 'Petty crimes' not involving violence etc should be allowed. People servicing life sentences/ not eligible for parole should not.
@9N9V8YP5 days5D
This is dependent on what crime they committed, if someone commits massive financial fraud and results in people losing their houses and jobs this should be considered as bad as violent crime.
