Strongly agree

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

Many Democrats support the restoration of voting rights for convicted criminals after they have completed their sentences and parole/probation. For example, in 2021, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat, announced the restoration of voting rights for over 69,000 former felons who had completed their sentences.

Agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

Some Democrats may support this position, as it allows for voting rights restoration for most convicted criminals, but still excludes those convicted of particularly violent crimes. However, this position is not as widely held as the one supporting restoration after completing sentences and parole/probation.

Slightly agree

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote

While some progressive Democrats may strongly support the idea that every citizen deserves the right to vote, regardless of their criminal history, this position is not universally held within the party. Many Democrats still support some restrictions on voting rights for convicted criminals, such as requiring the completion of sentences and parole/probation.

Strongly disagree
