Voting is mandatory in this country so we don't have a right to vote, we have an obligation. And no one should be forced to do it.

 @4T7R5HXFamily Firstfrom Victoria  answered…4yrs4Y

Only those who are not on welfare are allowed to vote. Also voting shouldn't be compulsary.

 @4T26D3Jfrom New South Wales  answered…4yrs4Y

It doesn't matter, voting is a miniscule power and many people who vote are criminals who haven’t been caught.

 @4VCWLNQfrom Victoria  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8WGXBDBanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote, even convicted criminals. However, those with less sanity or not in the right state of mind should be forbidden if they've fallen that far into depravity

 @8W2HZ7Wanswered…3yrs3Y

No. They couldn’t be trusted to protect their community when they were sentenced to prison and so they shouldn’t be trusted to protect it when their community has sent them there. It puts the public at risk.

Only if they have done a test stating they are mentally ok and have no psychological problems such as psychopathy or bpd.

 @8RCSZ6Nanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes I think they should, however I think it would depend on the criminals sentence length. If one was sentenced to life, why vote if they would never to leave jail again.

 @8RC5YPManswered…4yrs4Y

I believe this would have to depend on the crime and perpetrators own motivations, extremists and criminals with potentially harmful ideologies would have to be carefully considered. Althought this is hard thing to police due to free will

 @8R5GR84answered…4yrs4Y

If the criminal has a view on hate speech, violent tendencies to people, then no. I don't support.

Yes, but only after successfully completing a proper character test and thorough back ground checks. Any links to foul play of any sort be grounds enough to have voting privileges denied. Any sexual natured criminals be denied voting rights for life.
