Felony disenfranchisement is the exclusion from voting of people otherwise eligible to vote due to conviction of a criminal offense, usually restricted to the more serious class of crimes deemed felonies. Prisoners cannot vote while in jail in India but can vote when they are released (even if they are convicted of a felony.)
@8D2HK7RBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Only criminals who are charged for treason should , terrorism or war against the state should not be allowed
@9KNYNTG2mos2MO
If if someone has done a mild crime by mistake like for temporal pleasure someone steals from someone and the government is rehabilitating the person for his mistake and he is also guilty for what he did. For others doing violent crimes no voting rights to them at all.
@9JP8R26Bharatiya Janata3mos3MO
Only select few individuals should have right to influence the decision about who should be the ruler. Democracy and other forms of electoracy are not the ideal form of Government.

Depends on what crime the person has committed. If someone has committed crime that relate to election, voting, treason, amongst other political issues then absolutely not, yes if they have committed petty crimes or have served their sentence then I don’t see a problem with them casting a vote.

Yes, but not people convicted of voter disenfranchisement or tampering with machines and the voting process.
