Should felons have the right to vote? - NO: Felon disenfranchisement is actually a good idea
- I n election years like this, there is always a spike of interest in whether felons ought to be allowed to vote. Only two states, Maine and Vermont, allow felons still in prison to vote. Some states — and the District of Columbia — allow felons to vote once they have been released from prison, even if they are on probation or parole. Others, including Maryland, don’t allow voting until the sentence has been fully served, including probation and parole. Finally, some states like Virginia restore the right to vote only after full service of the sentence and only on a case-by-case basis. We favor this latter approach.
