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, 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.

@4V3M4BT4yrs4Y
Yes, but only after they've been assessed mentally to show their capable of Making a stable and informed decision
@B23HPY24wks4W
voting is for society to grow and hopefully grow great, criminals choose not to live by societal rules so no they should not get a vote until they are released and proven rehabilitation
@9ZZD34S1mo1MO
I think that criminals that have pleaded guilty, and genuinely are 100% guilty and have confessed, unless they've committed murder, crims should be allowed to vote.
@9ZY4TJR1mo1MO
If they are serious crimes then no but if they are petty crimes then it's fine. And only if they finish their sentances
@9ZPKBP82mos2MO
Yes but only felons convicted of non violent or oppressing crimes that don't involve harm to other people
@9ZGRPRY2mos2MO
Depends on the extent of their crime and why did they commit such crime, e.g. destroyed a building cuz the gov built it.
