Electoral District (2011):
Only depending on their crime if it’s super bad no if you did something not so bad they can vote Don’t kill my kid then expect to vote. 🖕🖕🖕🖕
@93Q7B6HNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes as long as the crime they commited was not a hate crime towards another.
@8VJZW9WNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, unless acts of terror/treason
@8VHM4PKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
It really depends on the crime. If you have taken another humans life, your rights should be removed as theirs were. If you have someone in for conspiracy against our government, no vote there either.
For petty crimes, yes, let them vote, but once they have been assessed mentally.
@8V38DM6New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but the criminally insane cannot vote
@8TLY4JFNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, unless the crime was a minor offence.
@8T4TDBLNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, after the public/government can confirm in some way that the individual has moved on from their past felonies.
@8RQR553New Democratic4yrs4Y
Criminals should be banned from voting while they are serving their sentence.
@8QJTRHRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
yes after mental evaluation
@8PW3MV4New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, granted they are of sound mind.
@8PPLF2TNew Democratic4yrs4Y
again. another instance of a .5 vote.
@8PKNBWCNew Democratic4yrs4Y
yes except for the felons who are convicted for a violent crime or a sex crime
Sure but inky serving the right amount of time and going to a psychiatrist for help if needed.
@8W65L6QNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Only if they seem like responsible and clear-headed voters.
@8VMR3VFNew Democratic4yrs4Y

@887SFZP4yrs4Y
Yes, every adult deserves the right to vote
@8XT5R4B3yrs3Y
You gave up the right to vote when you got locked up. How much sense does it make when women had to wait til 1919 to be able to vote, but a criminal can vote? NO!
