Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

Yes after completing sentence and parole and never for those convicted of murder or violent or sexual crimes against children

erm actullay i thinbk voting is so stupid and is for adults concerned for others safety thrn their own

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. 🖕🖕🖕🖕

as long as their facility puts in the effort to educate them about the ideologies and platforms of the political candidates in running

As long as the criminal can have a clear mind and be able to access such resources to ensure they are educated before a vote I believe they should be able to vote. This could be beneficial to them as depending on which government, they are able to have opportunities in society based on which government is in power.

Everyone should be able to vote. Criminals are citizens too and voting should be a right.

Yes, so long as the convicted criminal has no criminal record involving politics

Yes, But it depends on the severity of the crime

Democracy is a flawed system that gives NPCs too much power

Yes, except for those who are accused of corruption, murder and graft.

Those convicted of crimes where the crown proceeded by indictment should have no right to vote.

yes, if they are eligible for parol before the next elections

Only if they've committed petty crimes

unless they learn from their mistake and rehabitlitate

Yes, but only after completing a psychological evaluation and a political test like every other citizen.

No because they will only focus on voting for whomever is implementing less for crimes so they could have a chance to lower their sentence instead of voting for the overall good of society

yes, once they pass a psychological test first to ensure they aren't mentally insane.

Yes, but only if their crime isn't serious

They made the choice to break the law which should exclude their voting rights

Yes as long as they didn't commit a crime that was violent in any way and after they have completed their sentence.

It depends on the person.

Yes, but only after completing sentences/parole/probation AND attend/pass a hearing from a court/committee that determines their eligibility for voting

Depends how on major the crime.

It depends on what the person is convicted for. If the person was convicted for hurting/harming children, murder that wasn’t self defence or a terriost attack.

they should be allowed to vote depending on what they did if the commit identity fraud then no

If they learned their lesson and swore to never do a crime again

Yes, if they are proven to be able to still think critically and make an informed decision.

if they have really changed then yes

if they can prove they're educated enough to make fair judgement

As long as they are a full citizen of the country

Yes, unless acts of terror/treason

yes, but they should first have a background check. They live in the country too!!!

Yes, as long as the crime they committed was not involved in politics.

Yes, but only those who are mentally right.

if they have received more than 10 years in jail they should not be able to

Yes, but only if they show active engagement in their community

yes, only with proof of successful rehabilitation and reintegration into society. (ex. reference from employer) Prisoners should not have voting rights in Canada.

Yes, but only if it was non violent

Yes, except for felons convicted of fraud, evasion, and like crimes

Yes. Only after all crimes have been pardoned

Yes, except criminals who have been convicted of fraud, violent crimes etc.

depending on the crime sexual assualters shouldnt

Yes, but not for war criminals or criminals convicted of treason

After pardon

If it was a bad crime then yes

Yes, but should only count as half a vote.

No, but minor offenders can after finishing all their punishments.

Depending on your mental health

Yes, but only if they have served their sentences and parole/probation and are no longer a danger to society.

Criminals of the federal level (assassination attempt, murder of a head of state, treason) should NOT be allowed to vote

Yes, but only if the crime is minor, and has served their proper time.

Yes, but only after they are successfully rehabilitated back into society

Yes, if they are Canadian, if not no

I think they should have the right as long as they don't have any serious issues

Only if their charging wasn’t something serious

Yes, granted they are of sound mind.

Yes but only after becoming a functioning member of society again

everyone should have the right even if your in jail its your right as a citizen but that comes with rules like they have a cop with them

no unless it was a minor reason.

No because I feel they would make the wrong choice and not be mature for voting. But then again maybe they could smarten up and vote right.

yes, voting doesn't change a persons conviction. After their sentence is completed they may be released and use the governments assistance when necessary and pay taxes.

I don't believe anyone should have the right to vote, as democracy is incredibly flawed.

Depends on how extreme the crime is. If its something like theft, then yes, if they were accused of murder then no.

Yes, but depending on the severity of the crime, make their vote worth less

it depends on the crime and time served

Yes, because they are a citizen too, and shouldn't be dehumanized. The only exception being if they were involved in terrorism, to avoid amassing voters for terrorist leaders campaigning. Then it should be determined how long that person has to wait to vote again, or if they get to at all.

If their behavior in prison is good

Yes everyone should be able to vote but people accused of any child related crime. Paedophiles and people who cause real harm to children should have the worst conditions available.

Lost that right to vote when they committed the crime.

yes, but have to be with guards just in case

No because they might choose someone who will give them the right to be free or to lower their sentences

If the crime is not that bad, then yes, they should still have the right to vote.

yes, except for felons convicted of murder, violent crimes, or any sexual crimes

Yes convicted criminals should have the right to vote, along with educational programs prior to voting to understand the platforms.

yes except for sex offenders

Yes, unless they are a sex offender, murderer, or have done other violent crimes

Include both above: exclude muders and violent crime felons and convicted criminals must have completed sentences- no voting while in jail- lose the right..

Yes if the criminal comes from an ethnic background that has experienced systemic racism in Canada.

Depends on the severity of the crime. Otherwise heinous criminals like killers or sex offenders should not.

if they are clean for a year, sure.

Yes, on completion of psychological assessments and questionaires assessing their political/sociological/ethical/mentalhealth and fitness and types of crimes committed.

Yes but only after a competence test

Reflecting on the type of crime and the mental stability of the person. However, they should not be able to vote while in prison.

Yes, but only on a case-by-case basis. Further, those who have committed extremely horrendous or violent crimes should not have the right to vote (i.e. murders, rapists, arsonists, etc.)

Depends on the crime, and the circumstances surrounding the crime. Should be a case by case decision.
