Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

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.

How would it make you feel to lose your right to vote because of a past mistake, even after you’ve served your punishment?

 @9TNN428from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

If punishment is served then further punishment is unfair and unnecessary.

I'd say 50 , 50 because for one reason yeah i would agree what you have done in the past was absolutley wrong but maybe after serving your time in jail , then maybe after a long time it would be better and that criminal would maybe have one right to vote on anything...

If someone has served their time, do you believe they should regain their full rights as a citizen, including voting?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

What does it say about a democracy if certain groups, like former felons, are permanently excluded from participating in elections?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you think it's more beneficial for society to include or exclude people with felony convictions in the voting process?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How important is voting when it comes to feeling truly reintegrated into society after a conviction?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If voting is a fundamental right, should any crime be significant enough to remove that right permanently?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How do you think excluding people from voting after a felony impacts poor or minority communities in particular?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you agree or disagree with the idea that someone who has paid their debt to society deserves a second chance, including the right to vote?
