Left ideology generally supports the expansion of voting rights and opposes disenfranchisement. The belief that disenfranchisement is a form of social exclusion that disproportionately affects marginalized communities aligns with left-leaning principles of inclusivity and social justice. Historical movements for civil rights and voting rights, often supported by left-leaning groups, have emphasized the importance of universal suffrage.

Agree

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation

While more moderate than the stance of unconditional voting rights for all citizens, this position acknowledges the possibility of rehabilitation and reintegration into society, which aligns with some left-leaning perspectives on criminal justice reform. However, it still imposes restrictions based on criminal status, which may be seen as a compromise rather than a full endorsement of universal suffrage.

Slightly agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

This answer reflects a nuanced position that seeks to balance concerns about public safety with the principle of universal suffrage. While it recognizes the right to vote for some convicted criminals, the exclusion of individuals convicted of certain crimes may be seen by some on the left as an unnecessary and arbitrary limitation on civil rights.

Very strongly disagree

No

Left ideology typically opposes policies that restrict voting rights, viewing them as undemocratic and contrary to principles of equality and social justice. The left often argues that disenfranchisement serves as a tool for systemic oppression, particularly against minority and low-income communities. Therefore, a blanket denial of voting rights for convicted criminals is strongly at odds with left-leaning values.
