Should a politician, who has been formerly convicted of a crime, be allowed to run for office?

That completely depends on the crime.

It depends, probably, if the first three criteria are met

Yes as long as they have proven to have changed

Yes, as long as the crime was not violent, sexual, or involved the physical or emotional harm to a child

It is dependent on the scenario and should be evaluated on a case by case basis

Yes, as long as Canada also does not deport someone who committed a crime and has finished serving their sentence.

It depends on the severity of the crime, and whether they have finished serving their sentence.

Yes as long as they have under gone psychological evaluation and are not a threat to society.

Yes, if the crime was not committed while in office and have finished serving their sentence

Any allegations of sexual assault should immediately have their authority taken away.

Depends on what it was and when

Yes, as long as they've undergone therapeutic treatment which has given written approval of their progress.

That depends on what the crime was. Sexual assault? No. Drug possession during an addiction that they’ve since recovered from? No, and that could place an interesting perspective of lived experience when it comes to social policies.

Yes, as long as it was not corporate crime or crime which would indicate corruption

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, sexual, or politically motivated

Depends on the crime, the time served AND if they were currently in office.

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence and it was not a felony, violent, financial or sexual crime. As well as it was not commîtes while in office.

Depends on the severity of the crime, I agree with the point that says as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial or sexual crime. I do think that the crime would need to be heavily looked into.

yes, as long as the crime doesn't discredit anything that they might do in office.

It depends upon the severity of the crime committed.

Depends on the crime and why it happened

Yes, as long as it is not a violent/sexual crime.

Yes, so long as they have both served their time, and that the crime was not committed in office.

Yes, as long as it was pardoned or as long as it wasn’t a felony, violent, financial or sexual crime

As long as said politician has not done anything life threatening toward a person.

Yes, as long as it wasn’t a felony, sexual, financial or violent crime and 10 years has passed since time served.

Just depends on the crime

Yes as long as it’s not a sexual or violent crime

I believe that if they used their political/social power to commit the crime, then no. If they use their privilege and influence to take advantage of people, they shouldn't be in government. But, if the crime was committed before running, then it is important to think critically about it. If we completely disallow it, then it would lessen the chance that an at-risk youth has of seeing themself represented in government. People of color are often convicted of crimes, and get longer sentences than white people.

Depends what the crime was and what time they served

depends on the crime and how they have learned from their choices and grown as a person

Yes as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime while in office or not.

depending on what crime

Yes. They have a perspective of what is right and wrong, that there is a gray area that should be acknowledged. No one is perfect.

yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence, did not commit the crime while in office, was not a felony, violent, financial or sexual crime and have been pardoned

Depends on the crime & the severity and if the person is trying to reform for numbers of years

Maybe, it depends on the crime.

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence and the original crime committed was not a violent and/or sexual felony

Yes, as long as it was not a felony of an extremely violent or sexual nature, and as long as they have finished serving their sentence

Yes, unless the crime is severe

Yes, as long as it was not a felony of an extremely violent or sexual nature

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence and the crime was not a felony of a violent and/or sexual nature.

Yes, as long as it is not a violent, financial, or sexual crime

It depends on what the crime is if they commit something such as rape or murder then they should never be allowed to run for office again.
