Felony disenfranchisement is the exclusion from voting of people otherwise eligible to vote due to conviction of a criminal offense, usually restricted to the more serious class of crimes deemed felonies. Prisoners and those convicted of felonies have full voting rights in Canada.

Electoral District (2011):

Yes, but only after they served their time. Prisoners should not be allowed to vote.
@948HWJQ3yrs3Y
As long as they are paying taxes and were not convicted of a felony.
@8VN69CCLibertarian4yrs4Y
Only if it was a minor offensive, and not a severe crime. If a severe crime and the person has dual-citizenship, they should be stripped of their Canadian Citizenship and Deported.
@8TXVXML4yrs4Y
Yes, unless they didn't finish their full term in prison but through Conditional and Parole release.
@8TM7B2S4yrs4Y
Yes, except criminals who have been convicted of fraud, violent crimes etc.
@8PJMGYM4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they are citizens and after completing their sentence, parole/probation, rehab,etc.
@8PC7PTMLibertarian4yrs4Y
Prisons should have voting systems that relate to prisons
@8NWB7Z8Libertarian4yrs4Y
I don't believe anyone should have the right to vote, as democracy is incredibly flawed.
@8KKFTLYLibertarian4yrs4Y
Democracy is the worst system of government. Anyone who wants to vote should be able to vote, like anyone who wants to pay the 'stupid tax' (lottery) should be able to.
@8SYC5RWLibertarian4yrs4Y
I think it depends on available politicians political beliefs.
