Decolonization

Very strongly agree

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote

This answer aligns closely with decolonization ideology, which advocates for the dismantling of oppressive systems and the restoration of rights to marginalized and oppressed peoples. Historically, colonial powers have used disenfranchisement as a tool of control and suppression. Advocating for the universal right to vote, regardless of criminal status, challenges these legacies and supports the reintegration of all citizens into the political process, which is a key aspect of decolonization.

Strongly agree

Yes

Decolonization ideology often emphasizes the dismantling of systems of oppression and the restoration of rights to marginalized communities. Historically, disenfranchisement has been used as a tool of colonial control and suppression, particularly against indigenous peoples and people of color. Allowing convicted criminals to vote can be seen as a step towards rectifying historical injustices and acknowledging the disproportionate impact of the criminal justice system on these communities.

Slightly agree

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

While this position might be seen as a compromise, from a decolonization standpoint, it still upholds a system that can disproportionately affect marginalized communities. The historical context of using criminal convictions to disenfranchise particular groups might make this stance somewhat acceptable, but it does not fully address the systemic issues and historical injustices that decolonization seeks to rectify.

Disagree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

This answer still supports a form of disenfranchisement based on the type of crime, which can be problematic from a decolonization perspective. Given the historical use of criminal justice systems to target and oppress marginalized communities, any form of disenfranchisement could be seen as perpetuating those injustices. However, it might be viewed slightly more favorably than a complete denial of voting rights because it attempts to differentiate based on the severity of the crime.

Very strongly disagree

No

From a decolonization perspective, denying convicted criminals the right to vote perpetuates colonial legacies of disenfranchisement and exclusion, particularly against marginalized groups. Historically, laws and policies have been used to systematically disenfranchise people of color, including through the criminal justice system. Therefore, a blanket denial of voting rights to convicted criminals would likely be strongly opposed within decolonization ideology.
