Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

No, this is protected by the fifth amendment as the right to life, liberty, and property without due process

Anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote.

Yes; Except for criminals convicted of a felony, violent, sexual, or financial crime.

Yes, but depending on what they were convicted for

NO, and this also includes RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE. We should NEVER EVER be run by a president who is a convicted felon and RAPIST. It is UNCONSCIONABLE that the SCOTUS allowed this,

it depends on the crime and sentence. the prison system should be a rehabilitation to help citizens become more productive and corrected

Yes, and it should be compulsory. Voting increases civic engagement and personal investment in our systems and institutions, which can be in particularly short supply among convicts and only worsened on the inside.

Yes, but only if they are tested by the government for issues and for their wellbeing. If their "fail" the test, they are prohibited to vote until the following election is going to take place.

Convicted Criminals should not be allowed to vote if they are actively serving sentences and should never be allowed to vote if they are felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

I think it depends the circumstance, if someone has not served their sentence, been a felon, or a murder they should not be aloud.

yes except for felonies of convicted murder or violent crimes and yes after completing their scentences

depending on what crime committed such as i dont think somebody put in jail for certain types of fraud shouldnt be allowed to vote but a person with a SA or other violent/sexual crimes shouldnt be

Rapists, pedophiles and murderers should not be allowed to vote. Anyone with a lesser charge such as possession of drugs or firearms should be allowed to submit an application for consideration to vote.

Yes, they should. Only after completing their sentences and parole/probation. Except for felons convicted of violent crimes.

Yes, depending on the crime, any assassination attempt or anything treasonist should strip your right to vote, same with murders or other seriously horrible crimes

Yes, except for felons of violent crimes or murder AFTER completing their sentences and parole/probation

yes but only if it was for something stupid like not paying a fine. If you steal, murder, or hurt others, or threaten to hurt others than no criminals shouldn't vote.

I believe whatever you did to end up in jail and not just on a light sentence but you are a felon the right to vote should be stripped from you because its a privilege to have.

If you are convicted and found guilty of violent crimes such as murder, sexual assault, and or assault with intent to harm or kill with or without a weapon, you should have your basic rights as a citizen revoked such as the right to vote. If you serve 10 or more years in federal prison your right to vote should be relinquished after parole/probation sentence has been fulfilled.

Yes but only for non-repeat offenders, after completing sentences and parole- after they have completed their sentences/parole/probation

I believe that criminals should not vote because if they did they could commit voter fraud and go back to jail

If someone comes out of prison and becomes a law abiding citizen and isn’t arrested after a certain amount of years then yes maybe they do EARN their right to vote back.

Voting is one of those inalienable human rights.

We are learning more and more how corrupt and controlling our justice system is, and the monied powers that control it continue to do what’s best to preserve their own way of life, not the majority of Americans. Further, even the majority of people involved in this system that want to do the right thing are often under-funded or incentivized to maintain the status quo. Everyone gets a voice, period.

I think that if the person was convicted of a non violent crime and has served their sentence completely without major issues then they should be allowed to vote

I believe that felons convicted of non-violent felonies should have their right to vote restored upon completion of their parole/probation.

Yes, but felons convicted of especially heinous crimes such as a serial killer or serial rapist should not be allowed to vote

Yes for convicted felons of murder or violent crime but also cover felon for fraud and things like identity theft.

No, but if they can't vote they should be note included in the population counts for purposes of determining representatives in Congress.

Yes. However they should only be able to vote after a certain amount of time because of their sentence.

Yes but to a certain point, if ones are in jail for a not so bad charge then yes. But if there are people who are crazy and kill other people then no.

Felons who have committed violent crimes shouldn't be able to vote but those who did less violent crimes after completing their sentence should be able to vote along with parole/probation

Yes, we need all votes as possible so it will be a even race, yet we need to make sure that the convicted criminals are surrounded by guards so they don't hurt anyone else

Even if criminals were convicted of murder and does bad crimes there are still crimes that are extreme to some people. I do not think criminals convicted of a crime that they really did should not be able to vote, but if someone went to jail beacuse they had no choice or was wrongfully convicted they should be able to vote.

No this is protected by the fifth amendment concept of the right to life, liberty, and property without due process.

I feel as though it depends on their crime and the person. Maybe they would have to take a test to see if they could vote

No and this is protected by the concept of the fifth amendment of the Bill of Rights where it says right to life, liberty, and property without due process

Yes, if it was for a petty or nonviolent crime that didn't cause any harm to anyone, but if it was violent, then no

Yes, depending on the severity of the crime if the crime is too extreme or a threat to public safety than no.

Certain people who did certain crimes should not be allowed to vote but for lighter crimes they should have

Yes if they served their time, except for felons convicted of murder, rape, or other violent crimes. Only for petty crimes.

Yes, except for felons of significant crimes such as murder or arson. Including all violent crimes is to general and can exclude individuals who are systematically targeted by the justice system.

After serving their sentence and after they complete a mental exam. They must be mentally competent.

Yes, however if they have done something horrible, /or have not payed their debts, or whatever they owe.

Only if we fully know they will ant and shall not commit any more wrong doings, and if they do, they will be stripped of voting rights (depending on how serious the crime is).

Yes, but only after completing their sentences. Convicted person on parole/probation should be allowed to vote regardless. The only people that should receive voter disenfranchisement are those that have committed crimes of murder or any other crime that prevents another person from exercising their right to vote.

Depends on what the criminal actually believes in. If the convicted criminal is a genuinely horrible person, then definitely take away their right to vote.

No for all violent crime felonies, yes for all others after sentence/Patije/probation/rehabilitation complete

I think yes to a degree because when you look at people who are convicted/incarcerated they are people of color and I think and i think they should be giving the right to vote for those they think can best representative

Depending on how bad their crime is and if they are guilty or not. If they give a powerful statement, haven't done a seriously bad crime (like murder), and are deeply sorry for what they have done THEN they should be able to vote.

if the crime doesn't relate to taxes they should be able to because everyone who has to pay taxes should

Yes for misdemeanors. No for felonies, with the option to restore their right (depending on the nature of the crime) after completion on sentencing, parole, and proof of good behavior.

Yes, after completing there time, and no if they are a sex offender and they are a felon/violent offender.

Yes, but no felons convicted of murder or violent crimes, and for those who didn't do severe things, after completion of their sentences and parole/probation.

If they were wrongly accused then after getting out, they should have the right to vote. As far as people who convicted a felony, depending on the felony depends on weather they should have the right to vote or not!

It should be considered on a case-by-case basis. If someone has committed a nonviolent crime has served their time and shows that they have changed for the better and no longer commit crimes, then they should vote. I believe a murderer should never be allowed to vote.

They should have to go through a judicial process where a judge/official analyses if they are fit to vote.

yes, once they have been proven to not have any criminal tendencies or if it was a smaller crime such as stealing or dealing drugs.

Depends on the crime if it’s not a big crime and they have been been through programs to help them then yes

This depends on what they have done wrong and if they are in the right mental state to know what they are doing by voting.

I suppose it would depend on wether or not they would be in there for the rest of their life because if they are not coming out then what would be the point if they wouldn't be out in the country.

Yes, but only for people involved in non-violent crimes and after their sentence

i feel like is depends on what their crime was

Yes, as it is technically a constitutional right.

No as stated by the right to life, liberty, and property without due process in the fifth amendment, government has the right to not allow criminals the right to vote

Yes, and they should be able to vote from prison while they're serving their sentences.

If a felon is sentenced to life in prison then they should not get the chance to vote but if they get released after completing their sentence and live in the community then they should get the chance to vote like everyone else

This is a poorly formed and misleading question by not differentiating between those convicted of misdemeanor crimes as compared to those convicted of a felony

Yes depending on crime committed, behavior in prison/jail, number of previous crimes committed. You shouldn't be allowed to vote if you obviously fail at making educated decisions.

The right to own a gun is as important if not more than the right to vote. anyone who cannot own a gun should not be permitted to vote.
