Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

If they are capable of voting, and know what they are doing

Yes, but criminals convicted of crimes related to politics, fraud, or other similar offenses should be excluded.

This is one of the few cases where having the punishment fit the crime is both feasible and desirable. Anyone convicted of any of the crimes related to voting should be deprived of the right to vote, and indeed be banned from all polling places. For all other criminals, their right to vote should be maintained.

rapists, serial killers, pedophiles and anyone who committed a crime against a child do NOT have voting rights

Yes, except for felons convicted of several crimes already which is to be determined by the proper law

these criminals if guilty of an offense which penalizes the removal of their right for sufrage shall not vote

Yes, but only for those who completed their sentences and is given reasonable parole, and except for those who committed heinous crimes.

Yes, except for those convicted with a crime involving moral turpitude

Yes, but only if considered mentally sound by a professional Psychologist/Psychiatrist

I think no especially they were in the prison definetely they do not know what happened or happening in our country because they locked in prison. Most of jail have no television so meaning they precisely don’t know what happening in our country.

Yes, but only if they served their sentence and they didn't bail, regardless who they are.

depends if the police is ok with it

Since people have the right to vote, it can be allowed but in a strict way.

Depends on their background and today's personality

Minor Offending Criminals only have the right to vote after they served there sentences & parole/probation

Yes, if they get a parol

I believe if someone wants to vote they should have that right but it depends on the crime he/she committed and if they completed their sentencing, and probation. It also should depepend on a judge or how the criminal's behavior was in prison.

it depends on the law they broke.

Yes, if you pay taxes you should be able to vote.

Depends on the crime they did. If it was violent, then no. If it was something like drug selling then yes. As long as they are an American citizen they have the right to vote.

Yes, eveyone has their own opinion, criminal or not.

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and released from prison

If there is great evidence against a case of murder or violent crime that proves the arrested person did not do it but are still convicted, then they should be able to vote.

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation and passing a citizenship test

Depends. Case by case basis.

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder, rape, or terrorist activities.

Yes except for felons. You do something wrong you deserve to be punished. Taking away a right is a good punishment.

Yes, unless their crimes involve treason.

If a person has taken the voting rights of others such as a murderer I think they should lose their voting right too.

yes, except for felons convicted of rape or any kind of sexual offense, pedophilia, and murder/violent crimes on innocent people

Only if there republican

Yes but only after serving their time

Yes, after they are release and while they or in if it’s for a none violent crime.

Yes, convicted criminals should have a right to vote but there should be something in place for them to prove why they should have their vote heard.

neither, it depends on how serious the crime is, like molesting or rape EX. shouldn't be able to vote

As long as the criminal as manners or responsibility to act normal as a citizen should. they should be mature to be able to do these things.

Yes, only temporarily while their citizenship is barred after being convicted of "crimes involving moral turpitude"

If the crime is minor they should be able to vote but if its anything about middle class crimes they shouldn’t vote

yes and no because if they vote for a really bad person who is secretly a tairarist than its over if they win but would if they just vote for trump and he wins that's that.

It depends on the mental health of the person and the crime committed.

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder, rape, or terrorist activities

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation but not for mentally ill

they should be considered on how they act and how they have been behaving

Everyone deserves grace, even after all the wrong they have done.

yes everyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote. however if a person is proven to be mentally ill or unstable they should not be able to vote

Yes but only if it is the first time they have done such crime

Yes, Only if they are in the correct mental state

Only if they get out and start doing the right thing, I believe if they are hurting themselves ot hurting other people or communities they should not have the right to vote

Only after serving their sentence and if their crime was not political, terrorist related, or intentionally violent (like rape)

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation and NOT if they were convicted of violent crimes or crimes Public Corruption (both domestic public office and foreign -- as defined by the FBI's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).

Yes depending on the crime they've committed and how severe

Yes and they should have the right to own a gun again as well. If they can't be trusted with a gun, they should not be free.

Yes, except those who've committed violent acts against children or violent crimes toward adults that were not in self-defense of themselves or their children.

Yes, unless they have been convicted of voter fraud like crime. This is extremely rare.

Yes, non felony offenses

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation. No terrorists.

It depends on the level of offense their crime was along with their mental state, there should be tests detailed on how their mental state stands and if they are sane enough to have a say in an election.

Yes, unless you committed a major crime like murder or rape

Yes, allowing the government to remove certain peoples' right to vote is a gateway to voter suppression and fascism

depends on what they did. but most of them should be able to.

No, only criminals who have committed minor non-violent crimes

Yes, unless they have committed a felony

Only if they committed misdemeanors, felons should not have the right to vote

Yes, unless they have committed felonies

Depends on the crime, I believe pedophiles, murderers, rapists, and people with genuine bad intentions shouldn't, but someone in for a petty charge should have the right.

Yes I believe they do as long as they are educated about both sides in prison because every vote counts and no matter who you are, in jail or not, if you are educated then let them vote, like I said every vote counts

yes, if they pass a psych exam proving they are mentally fit

I think that it depends on what their crime is

I think it depends on what the crime is.

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder, non-marital rape or terrorist activities.

I feel like it really only depends on the type of crime the felon commited and how severe it affected someone of something

i believe that the convicted criminals should get an examinations done to see if they are qualified to be able to vote

There should be a punishment that deprive individual's right to vote.

Rigby granted by the Constitution are not privileges, and should not be taken away.

no they lost their rights

This one is tricky because yeah if you are a citizen of the U.S you should be able to vote but if you are just plain evil and done or do disgusting things we should highly consider if they should be able to or not we should leave it up to the people to decide.

Yes, except for people who have a gross attraction to children and animals.

Yes, but only after they have completed their sentence, probation/parole, and have been signed off by a psychologist, their parole officer, and someone in close personal contact with them.

No, unless time is served along with parole/probation and not convicted of murder

With some discrepancy, their votes should probably have some penalty of being counted as less and/or to be under scrutiny depending on evaluations. Criminals are to be reformed and/or helped rather than killed in cages after all.

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or rape.

Yes. But only citizens who did not commit serious crimes

yes and no because some convicts have betered them selve and pt them selves in a better head space then compared to some one who is not mentally stable

Yes, only after they're proven they're off a life of crime after parole/probation

Yes, except for only the most heinous monsters

Yes, after they have served their time or been granted parole.

Yes, except for felons convicted of rape, manslaughter or murder

Yes, except for murderers. Those who take another's life don't really deserve to control the country.
