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

Seems like a case by case basis here, if someone stole something then fine but if they were violent then no

That completely depends on the crime.

Yes, (depends on sentence) as long as they have finished their sentence, gone through physical and mental therapy regarding their sentence…

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

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

Yes, as long as it wasn’t a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime and as long as they have finished serving their sentence.

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence, the crime was not too serious and they are a good part of society now.

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

It depends how bad the crime was

Yes, depending on the intentionality and context of the crime

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 what they did but normally no

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.

as long as it wasn’t a violent or sexual crime

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

Depends on the crime and why it happened

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

I feel like as long as they served their sentence and it wasn’t a felony, violent, financial or sexual crime.

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

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

yes, as long as it was not a felony or crime such as fraud or money laundering

Yes, so long as the time has been served and the crime was committed far enough in the past that they would have grown as a person.

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.

Yes, as long as they are rehabilitated from their crime and understand the actions they committed

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.

As long as they change for the better of themselves and the world.
