Yes, because not every criminal convicted is guilty and they are still citizens.

@8SZVNHB4yrs4Y
Yes, except for felons convicted of rape, murder, violent crimes and any crimes that were a danger to those around them
@8QR7G7V4yrs4Y
yes as long as they have completed jail time and have had a phsycology test after being released to make sure that theyre mentally sound to do something of such great importance because, many people who have been convicted of crimes/ incarcerated are those in poorer places who needed to do it to survive or because of the lack of funding in that area so their voice matters quite a bit
