Agree

No

Given their conservative stance on law and order, the AfD would likely agree that convicted criminals should lose certain rights, such as the right to vote, as part of their punishment. This aligns with their broader punitive approach to criminal justice, emphasizing the consequences of breaking the law.

Agree

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

The AfD might find a compromise position in the idea that convicted criminals can regain the right to vote after serving their sentence and completing parole or probation. This stance allows for a form of rehabilitation and reintegration into society, which could be seen as a balanced approach, though their primary emphasis remains on punishment and security.

Slightly agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

While the AfD is tough on crime, they might see the logic in allowing non-violent offenders the right to vote after serving their time, as a means to reintegrate them into society. However, their support would likely be tepid, given their overall punitive stance towards criminal behavior, especially concerning violent crimes.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, every citizen deserves the right to vote
