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.
@4Y254FY4yrs4Y
Yes, except for felons convicted of electoral fraud
@4V3M4BT4yrs4Y
Yes, but only after they've been assessed mentally to show their capable of Making a stable and informed decision
@9ZGRPRY1wk1W
Depends on the extent of their crime and why did they commit such crime, e.g. destroyed a building cuz the gov built it.
@9Z9QH5H2wks2W
If the person's crime is minimal or predicted to be falsely imprisoned, then I believe they should be able to vote.
@9RVX2634mos4MO
Yes, except for felons of murder, violent crimes, fraudulent activities, or non-violent crimes involving children
@9RT5H6H4mos4MO
If they are due to be released within the next government term, otherwise not. Foreign-born criminals should lose their right to vote.
@9QPRGB55mos5MO
Completely depends on whether they are of complete sound mind and have priorities straight and won’t go back to crime ever
