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.)

Yes, if they have been proven to have become a changed man. This is to exclude serial offenders that are not in prison as of the current moment
@B3K6LNQ2wks2W
Yes, but only after completing their sentence and except for felons convicted for violent/harmful/weird crimes
@B3H865Q3wks3W
Yes after completing their sentences/parole/probation and passing a simple test to ensure they understand basic politics and are mentally stable and aren't going to make any stupid decisions. I also think all people should have to pass this test, but it should be written into legislation so it can't be changed, and everyone should agree on it to be fair.
@B2QFMP22mos2MO
Yes, because stripping criminals of human rights is dehumanizing and only causes them to behave worse.
