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.

It depends on how heavy the crime they convicted. If they performed spy activities to other countries, they should not be allowed to vote again.
@B2VYKVL2wks2W
I think it depends on the art of the crime, if it was an extremist crime or dehumanizing crime, then no, otherwise yes
@9HYWJLD1yr1Y
Everyone should have the right to vote, even criminals. The exception should be if said person conducted a crime against the existence of the country or its democratic foundation.
@9F2DHJN1yr1Y
Yes except those guilty of violent crimes (rape, murder, manslaughter, armed robbery, etc.)
