PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PRISONERS AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE (3 November 2010)
Motion Details
That this House believes that if a crime is serious enough to warrant a term of imprisonment, then the perpetrator must forgo certain civil liberties, including the right to suffrage; and recognises that the right to vote does not aid the rehabilitation of a prisoner and is a privilege that should be exclusively reserved for law-abiding citizens.
