@8VW674Y4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if their crime isn't serious
@8VCXY9K4yrs4Y
Perhaps they could petition for the right to vote if its an issue of importance to the individual and be based on specifics of their conviction.
Yes , but after showing X amount of time of good behavior that shows an interest in rehabilitation
@8V567KV4yrs4Y
Yes, depending of the severity of the crime they committed. If a individual had committed murder, rape, violet crime, etc, they should be revoked of their voting rights.
@8TJYS944yrs4Y
It isn't my say as to who should and shouldn't be able to vote
@8TJ69S24yrs4Y
Yes, however, it depends on the severity of their crimes.
@8THF3DS4yrs4Y
Yes except for criminals who committed violent crimes and they must have finished their sentence and parole.
@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
@8PG2MGN4yrs4Y
only if the crime was not a violent, or sexual crime
@8JRM9DF4yrs4Y
That really depends on the circumstances of the crime and how well the person has been rehabilitated/adjusted
@7PV36BB4yrs4Y
Yes, except for only the most heinous monsters
