Criminals should be banned from voting while they are serving their sentence.
@8QLQ9HP4yrs4Y
Ones that will be out of jail or prison soon should be allowed to vote as they are walking out into the world again. They should have a government they want if that government gets votes in
@8QCF7DH4yrs4Y
Yes, if they are Canadian, if not no
