Yes, but only if their crime isn't serious
@8V55H4K4yrs4Y
I believe sex offenders and murderers shouldn’t be allowed to vote
@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
@8G53C3V5yrs5Y
Depends on how severe the crime was, if it was not severe I would let them vote after 4 years, but if it was very severe they should not be allowed to.
