Felony disenfranchisement is the exclusion from voting of people otherwise eligible to vote due to conviction of a criminal offense, usually restricted to the more serious class of crimes deemed felonies. Prisoners and those convicted of felonies have full voting rights in Germany unless they receive a court order banning them from voting.

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation. Until then, they have forfeited their rights by breaking the law, and should not be allowed to vote if they are willing to hurt the country like that.
@8ZM787S2yrs2Y
Yes, before they are sent to prison and after they are released
@8ZFWLBX2yrs2Y
Only those with minor crimes. Those who have committed felonies should have a waiting period after serving their sentence. Murderers and other terrible criminals should not be allowed to vote.

Yes, for smaller crimes but not violent ones.
@RickStewart2yrs2Y
When a person is in prison s/he is under the direct control of the government. When s/he is not, s/he should be allowed to vote for or against that government.
