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, for everyone after their sentence is completed, and yes for minor crimes, but not murder or other violent crimes.
@9Z9QH5H3mos3MO
If the person's crime is minimal or predicted to be falsely imprisoned, then I believe they should be able to vote.
@9RVX2636mos6MO
Yes, except for felons of murder, violent crimes, fraudulent activities, or non-violent crimes involving children
@9RT5H6H6mos6MO
If they are due to be released within the next government term, otherwise not. Foreign-born criminals should lose their right to vote.
@9QPRGB57mos7MO
Completely depends on whether they are of complete sound mind and have priorities straight and won’t go back to crime ever
