| The Liberal Party proposes that incarcerated people be given the right to vote at all times. It is a basic human right of everyone to practice suffrage or your voting rights. We, by the will of the people, strongly believe that criminals must always be allowed to vote, regardless of whether they are in jail or not. Being a criminal does not make them less of a human.

It must be practiced AT ALL TIMES, provided that there are voting precints set inside prisons for criminals to be able to do so. |
