    It seems that they exclude people wherever the commenter lives too.

      Can exclude, not all of them do, I think it has to be a specific part of the sentence (ie not automatic) because some high court ruled that some years ago.

        Can exclude, not all of them do Who are “them”?

        Who is excluding people where you live and why can they do that? Isn’t it handled centrally by a single governmental body?

          I meant not all criminal offenses necessarily cause an exclusion from voting rights. If I recall correctly there is a list of specific ones for which people can be sentenced to loss of voting rights.

            That sounds logical for offences that have something to do with trying to overthrow the government or the like
