@8TJ4QSS4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they have finished their sentence, and do not have any serious or unresolved mental health issues.
Yes, because not every criminal convicted is guilty and they are still citizens.
@8THF3DS4yrs4Y
Yes except for criminals who committed violent crimes and they must have finished their sentence and parole.
@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
@8QQYR444yrs4Y
Yes, but only after they are successfully rehabilitated back into society
@8NJGSP54yrs4Y
Yes, except felons convicted of murder or violent crimes must complete their sentences and parole/probation first.
@8TW3XV84yrs4Y
Reflecting on the type of crime and the mental stability of the person. However, they should not be able to vote while in prison.
@8JRM9DF4yrs4Y
That really depends on the circumstances of the crime and how well the person has been rehabilitated/adjusted
