Bill: Incarcerated Voting Rights
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertärer Kommunist Partei
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 4619
Description[?]:
| The most recent election turnout was unacceptable. 57% of people with suffrage voted, meaning we only heard the voices of a little bit more than half of the population! We move to give voting rights to the incarcerated, as well as additional freedoms, not only to make the prison system more reintegration leaning, rather than punitive, but to make sure that ALL voices are heard, not just the abiding. |
