In some democracies, people convicted of crime cannot vote. These policies, often called 'criminal disenfranchisement' or 'felony disenfranchisement' laws, are the last surviving blanket restrictions on the voting rights of adult citizens. This book provides the first comprehensive examination of criminal disenfranchisement laws around the world.
